Forecasts

Hostility (8/11), Storm Piece (6/4), Iceford (6/1), Hopes Are High (12/1), Wegotogether (66/1), Starsurge (80/1), Qvee (125/1), Rock Solid Spirit (125/1), Givehertilxmas (150/1), Southgreen (200/1), Petite Madame (250/1), Monroe Dasher (250/1), Lady Crossing (250/1), Quare Fast (250/1), Doctor G (250/1)

STORM PIECE made a very pleasing return to action when second at Naas in March and looks up to winning a maiden such as this. There doesn't appear to be a lot of strength in depth, with the Joseph O'Brien trained-pair Hostility and Iceford the obvious threats.
