Forecasts

Alpha Capture (11/4), Evening Blossom (9/2), Martinelli (11/2), Grey Leader (8/1), Expound (8/1), Exquisite Acclaim (8/1), Presence (8/1), Nakasero (10/1), Amemri (12/1), Perfect Judgement (25/1), Imposing Supreme (40/1), Extensio (40/1)

ALPHA CAPTURE likely would have made a winning comeback had the gaps appeared a bit sooner at Leopardstown last month and is fancied to make amends. The thriving AMEMRI is the obvious threat as she bids for the 6-timer, while Martinelli arrives on the back of a career-best win at Limerick.
