Forecasts

Dream Escape (4/1), Great Rainbow (11/2), Hollow Spark (7/1), Morepowertoya (15/2), Grizabella (17/2), Sandyman (9/1), Knocknagoran Lady (9/1), Cailin Aibrean (9/1), Sovereign Duke (12/1), Pinky (14/1), Ballycommon Chapel (16/1), Esticky End (16/1), Wardens Whisper (20/1), Storm Steps (50/1), Redcliff Glen (66/1), Quarry Lady (80/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and GRIZABELLA is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of her good Kilbeggan sixth with Jordan Gainfod now in the saddle. Sandyman is also weighted to have a say and rates next best ahead of Redcliff Glen and Morepowertoya.
