Forecasts

Still She Blooms (9/4), Saxon Kingdom (4/1), Are You In Or Out (5/1), El Bello (6/1), Distillate (15/2), Eagles Whistle (10/1), Han Solo (11/1), Liamo (12/1), Browned Off (12/1), Dazzling Spirit (12/1), Manhattan Dandy (14/1), Cu Chulainn (18/1), Dinamine (22/1), Dark Enigma (28/1), Hell Left Loose (33/1), Seven Eleven (125/1)

There were excuses for BROWNED OFF's rather low-key effort at Roscommon and, if able to repdouce the form of her much-improved Leopardstown second prior to that, she will have every chance here. Still She Blooms again wasn't far away when third at Killarney recently and she should give another good account, while Gowran winner Saxon Kingdom is third choice. The shortlist is completed by Han Solo.
