Forecasts

Little Lady Lucy (5/2), Boomerang Bill (4/1), Redemptive Power (9/2), Tatum (5/1), Barretstown (17/2), Dancing Steve (17/2), Cannes Do (10/1), So Messi (11/1), Lady Delila (14/1), Thefullbackline (16/1), Galician Girl (16/1), Honrado (25/1), Pro Bono (28/1), Naisiun (33/1), Simpson's Paradox (33/1), Darkened (40/1), Chica Linda (80/1)

Gavin Cromwell's REDEMPTIVE POWER advanced his form when runner-up at Dundalk last time and with few miles still on the clock he looks the way to go. So Messi is weighted to have a say and could emerge as the main danger, although Little Lady Lucy, Cannes Do and Barretstown are also in the picture in this very open handicap.
