Forecasts

Kabylia (11/4), Kate Knows Best (3/1), Wild Mandate (7/2), Encosta (9/2), Two Become One (15/2), Irish Music (11/1), Lilac Lady (16/1), Sinceyouvebeengone (33/1), Tolovelyoldmiltown (200/1), Belle Of Boston (200/1), Niamhie (200/1)

This could go the way of KABYLIA who got off the mark in bumpers at Kilbeggan last month and is fancied to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's returning Two Become One is feared most despite her absence with Kate Knows Best and Encosta also well in the mix.
