Forecasts

Jeaniemacaroney (2/1), Ma Belle Etoile (3/1), Costanuci (10/3), Gers Gigi (9/2), Littlebiggie (16/1), Tell Me This (20/1), Bynx (22/1)

COSTANUCI is taken to put her experience to good use and gets off the mark over fences at the sixth time of asking. Recent Tramore Flat winner Jeaniemacaroney would be a potential big threat if taking to chasing at the first time of asking. Gordon Elliott's Gers Gigi is likely to build on her course chase debut at the start of the month and is another who should have a say.
