Forecasts

Pascalia (4/1), Church Mountain (6/1), Kinda Tiny (13/2), Pink Socks (7/1), Campari Soda (7/1), Cherry Pink (8/1), Keilah (8/1), I Bid You Ajou (17/2), Monzoon (16/1), Jalo (16/1), Run The Jewels (16/1), Lorr's Girl (22/1), Zero Fighter (25/1), Quick Blessing (28/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (33/1), Mullacash Buzz (33/1), Lucky Queen (33/1), St Laurence's Gate (33/1), Pegula (40/1)

PASCALIA has edged down to a workable mark and she looks ready to strike judged on her creditable efforts in big-field handicaps at the Curragh and Bellewstown in recent weeks. The main threat could come from Church Mountain, who wasn't seen to best effect last time and he is also lurking on dangerous mark. Pink Socks is third choice, while Campari Soda also needs a second look.
