Forecasts

Chica Guerrera (3/1), Justenzia (9/2), Coulstys Way (5/1), Earthsong (7/1), Bridezilla (17/2), Superficial (9/1), Royal Belief (10/1), Casheldale Lass (12/1), Go Flo Jo (14/1), Secret Force (16/1), God The Highness (16/1), Faire La Nouba (25/1), Devine Genius (25/1), Cuckaloo Hill (28/1)

EARTHSONG was the only one to make any late gains when third on her handicap debut over 1¾m at Navan last time and while this drop in trip poses a question, she gets the nod in the hope that there is a strong pace to aim at. The consistent Coulstys Way is second choice, while Faire La Nouba is also interesting and the hat-trick seeking Casheldale Lass is also shortlisted.
