Forecasts

Bobbi Gin Tree (15/8), Upthereforthinking (7/2), Torquay Road (9/2), Kimjoy (11/2), Aine's Lad (8/1), Pallas Athene (16/1), Thunder Rose (18/1), You Make Me Smile (28/1), Kilbride Hill (66/1), Texas King (125/1)

Henry de Bromhead's BOBBI GIN TREE has shown a fair level of ability and might prove up to the task in what isn't a strong maiden. Kimjoy has failed to complete the last twice but did hold every chance when coming down 2 out at Bellewstown on her penultimate outing and is second choice ahead of Aine's Lad.
