Forecasts

Yquem (7/2), Catherine Magennis (4/1), Spy (11/2), Lady Plimsoll (7/1), Master Sydney (8/1), Double Indian (10/1), Coulstys Way (12/1), Summer Snow (16/1), Lily Parr (16/1), Daonethatgotaway (20/1), Enchanted Lady (20/1), Fianna (20/1), Duke Of Leggagh (25/1), Piatra Neamt (25/1), Chopsticks (25/1), Out On Friday (33/1), Deralo Ir (33/1), Autocrat (33/1)

Verdict

COULSTYS WAY was still in contention when unshipping her rider at Galway last month and had posted a good third at Killarney previously. She gets the nod in a open-looking finale. Lady Plimsoll, Lily Parr and Yquem make up the shortlist.
