Forecasts

Subsonic (6/4), Candleford Green (5/2), Tswalu (10/3), Carthusian (7/2), Down To Business (8/1), Maeve Brennan (8/1), Word For Word (16/1), Bint Majestic Roi (18/1), Eroico (28/1), Santa Domingo (40/1), Mama Shine (80/1), Tinsioux (100/1), Merepark (100/1), Rodeeve (150/1), Anightaway (150/1), Syosset (200/1), Bhean Liath (250/1)

With improvement on the cards now that she steps up in trip, CANDLEFORD GREEN earns the vote. She went close on her sole 2-y-o start at Leopardstown and finished well when in the clear on her reappearance over a mile at Naas in May. Tswalu deserves to get her head in front, but may have to settle for another minor role, while Subsonic is next on the list ahead of Carthusian.
