Forecasts

Goldana (6/4), Brilliant (7/2), Alpheratz (4/1), You Send Me (4/1), Everlasting (13/2), Magical Sunset (16/1), Cadeau Belle (16/1), Mammas Girl (18/1), Sli Na Ghealai (25/1), Lady Of Inishfree (33/1), Peace Of Mine (100/1)

The vote goes to GOLDANA, who made a winning reappearance on the back of a similar absence in the Gladness Stakes over 7f here last season and will have every chance if again raring to go following a winter break. You Send Me was safely held over this C&D in the Irish 1000 Guineas on the final start of her truncated 3-y-o campaign but she remains of interest in view of her earlier promise, while the Ballydoyle representatives Brilliant and Everlasting both merit respect, too.
