Forecasts

Sylkie (7/2), Positive Energy (9/2), Eddie G (5/1), Purple Sky (6/1), Victor's Choice (13/2), Nans View (8/1), Seas And Oceans (9/1), Dont Do Dramas (9/1), Whisper A Prayer (10/1), Madame Plaintiff (11/1), Bridge The Gap (20/1), Vierson (25/1), Promo Queen (50/1), Del Posto (50/1), Melkorka (66/1)

Ado McGuinness loves nothing more than a Galway winner and EDDIE G may be ready to strike after his good run in a big field at Leopardstown last month. An unexposed profile makes Joseph O'Brien's Whisper A Prayer an interesting contender. Sylkie, the mount of Colin Keane, and Purple Sky also make the shortlist.
