Forecasts

Molly Hall (11/4), Beauforts Storm (11/4), Elzaamsan (13/2), Curious Bride (7/1), Elusive Guy (17/2), Indulging (10/1), Duke Otto (16/1), Plains Indian (16/1), Politicise (18/1), Miss Aytan (22/1), Cafe Con Leche (28/1), Autocrat (33/1), Kottayam (40/1), Patrick Joseph (80/1)

CURIOUS BRIDE didn't enjoy the rub of the green but still posted a good Leopardstown third last time out so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways. Plains Indian is next on the list at these weights, with recent Navan scorer Molly Hall also very much one to consider.
