Forecasts

Dippedinmoonlight (4/9), Diamond Tipp (11/2), Lord Ffrench (13/2), San Franco (12/1), Mrs Mc Go (14/1), Low Expectations (33/1), Matter Of Opinion (33/1), Monroes Hollow (40/1), People Pleaser (66/1), Shining Silver (100/1), Lea Lass (200/1)

DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT showed inexperience when runner-up at Down Royal three weeks ago but there was enough encouragement to think he can get off the mark at the second attempt. Diamond Tipp improved on her latest outing and looks the main danger, although Low Expectations is an intereseting newcomer.
