Forecasts

Our Lil (13/8), Best Law (9/2), Dream Ticket (7/1), T Or Coffey (10/1), Highland Bells (10/1), Gregorina (11/1), Billie Frechette (11/1), Nosey Anna (12/1), Gushing (14/1), Jlow (20/1), Mama Zonia (33/1), Bofa (50/1), Melkorka (125/1)

BEST LAW shaped well when third at Naas recently and gets a narrow vote ahead of last month's Ballinrobe scorer Gregorina from the in-form Ado McGuinness yard. Noel Meade's Billie Frechette completes the shortlist in this finale.
