Forecasts

Shana Cloon (9/2), A Mere Bagatelle (5/1), Angelsworknovrtime (11/2), Fire Coral (6/1), Evans Secret (6/1), Beechroad Winnie (9/1), Loup De Tallane (10/1), Oogum Boogum (10/1), Appian Way (12/1), Imbolc (12/1), Ardfert Mary (14/1), Bella Union (14/1), King's Commander (16/1), Mourne Mist (25/1), Anysignofhim (25/1), Sea Road Fill (25/1), Jollie Cosmos (33/1), Essential Part (50/1), Deal Again (200/1)

Lots with chances but A MERE BAGATELLE rates the pick at these weights so looks the way to go. Beechroad Winnie is next on the list on the back of her good Tramore second, although Angelsworknovrtime, Evans Secret and Oogum Boogum are others to consider too.
