Forecasts

Carried With Love (9/2), Tir Og (5/1), Birmingham Alabama (5/1), Killinure Lass (13/2), Kilashee (8/1), Bynx (9/1), Sprinkles (10/1), Lady Doyanne (10/1), Our Girl Ellie (12/1), Imperial Miss (14/1), Ladiam (16/1), Bayou Belle (16/1), Angelsworknovrtime (33/1)

CARRIED WITH LOVE arrives on the back of 2 good placed efforts and gets the vote for Joseph O'Brien. Tir Og has thrived since front-running tactics have been employed and is feared most ahead of Padraig Roche's Sprinkles.
