Forecasts

Rappell (4/1), Noble Nation (13/2), Lady Daar (7/1), Grand Citadel (8/1), Land Lover (8/1), Woohoo (10/1), Mark's One (12/1), Layoftheland (12/1), Posh Maisie (14/1), Go Girl Go (14/1), Limoncello Lady (22/1), I'm Spartacus (22/1), Sierra De Gredos (25/1), Valentino Express (25/1), Pomeriggio (33/1), Platino Bianco (40/1), Finito Bonito (40/1), Leni Mo (50/1)

This drop back in trip is an interesting move for GRAND CITADEL, who shaped well when fourth in a 9-runner Cork handicap over a mile last monh. She could be the answer off an appealing mark. Mark's One has returned to form the last twice and he is feared most ahead of Mark's One and Land Lover
