Forecasts

La Cote Fleurie (8/11), Aruntothequeen (7/5), Knockarina (10/1), Ardeen Joy (12/1), Carleys Lilly (16/1), Becca Sommers (22/1), Chisel Hill (33/1), Certosa (40/1), Eyecanboogie (50/1), Humble Berkshire (66/1), Jessie Roe (80/1), Tillyiver (100/1), Pixie Hill (100/1), An Bhfuil Tu Reidh (125/1), Doesthatmakesense (125/1), Tawny Lea (200/1)

This could rest between LA COTE FLEURIE and Aruntothequeen and with Henry de Bromhead's mare boasting more scope for potential after just 2 outings she gets the vote. Carleys Lilly made a promising start when fourth at Clonmel and has place claims.
