Forecasts

Barnahash Primrose (5/2), Twentyfourcarrot (3/1), Sainte Tartare (10/3), Uhavemeinstitches (7/2), Slotty Dotty (10/1), Rue Taylor (12/1), Neon Diamond (14/1), Diyaba (33/1), Workinonadream (40/1), Regards To Rose (50/1), Je Suis (66/1), Meitheal (80/1), Whatsupnellie (125/1), Alright Darling (150/1), Mountrivers Lass (200/1), Artic Dais (200/1), She'll Be Kept (250/1), Huscari (300/1)

This should boil down to just a few, with SAINTE TARTARE hard to get away from after her promising second at Tramore on debut. Uhavemeinstitches is the obvious danger if backing up her Clonmel performance. Rue Taylor completes the shortlist.
