Forecasts

Sioux Eagle (9/2), Miss Gitana (5/1), Party Dress (5/1), Lady Kai (11/2), Empress Alma (11/2), Inchiquin Star (7/1), Disco Boy (10/1), Gracesolution (11/1), Star Official (25/1), Dancing Steve (50/1), Pons Aelius (66/1)

Verdict

MISS GITANA caught the eye on her first Flat outing for this yard at Downpatrick last month and has since run well back over hurdles, so could be worth chancing. Empress Alma and Star Official head the dangers.

  1. Miss Gitana5/1
  2. Empress Alma11/2
  3. Star Official25/1
