Forecasts

Kilbuny Supersonic (10/3), Get Down To It (9/2), Baroness Orczy (9/2), Voodoo Angel (6/1), Auntie Lacey (6/1), Nashville Notions (8/1), Danielle D (12/1), Laurie Blue (12/1), Western Princess (22/1), Pippa Mo Chroi (33/1), Native Glory (50/1), My Lady O (125/1), Naughty Aimee (150/1), Dafhney Blue (200/1), Silver Lafanta (200/1)

This is significantly weaker than the Fairyhouse maiden BARONESS ORCZY contested over Easter and she might prove the answer in a race where nothing stands out on form. Nashville Notions and Danielle D are others likely to be in the mix. Western Princess has offered little in her 2 runs but it wouldn't be a surprise to see her improve given who trains her.
