Forecasts

Pearls Galore (10/3), Maud Gonne Spirit (7/2), Music To My Ears (9/2), French Rain (6/1), Bestrella (6/1), Rocket Science (7/1), Stormy Belle (10/1), Galtee Mist (10/1), Abeona (12/1), Lady Scathach (14/1), Powersville (18/1), Hieroglyphic (18/1), Visionara (18/1), Miacomet (20/1), Line Judge (20/1), Mary Salome (20/1), She's A Babe (33/1), Laurel Wreath (40/1), Jazz And Blues (100/1), Princess Xena (125/1)

Not a huge number of obvious contenders here and the suggestion is BESTRELLA, who is proven over the trip, stays further and shaped up well on her handicap debut last time. The Joseph O'Brien pairing Music To My Ears and Line Judge can both have cases made, while Jessie Harrington's duo Maud Gonne Spirit and Rocket Science are two others with claims. Mary Salome is another not ruled out.
