Forecasts

Cobra Queen (5/2), Katie Daniels (3/1), Maxios Prime (5/1), Shadys Lady (6/1), Carry On Heidi (13/2), Dameauscottlestown (10/1), Ladiam (14/1), Joshua's Daylami (16/1), Andyourbirdcansing (25/1), Elsannah (33/1)

CARRY ON HEIDI was stretched by the longer trip when third at Limerick last time out and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now dropped back in distance here. In-form Maxios Prime is next on the list in her bid for a first success of the season with Fairyhouse scorer Katie Daniels also firmly in the picture.
