Forecasts

Brickfield Belle (4/7), Kimi De Mai (13/8), Aboras Mahler (11/1), Silk Buds (12/1), Whelkeen View (14/1), Coffeemorninggirls (20/1), Jury Time (25/1), French Adventure (50/1), Lucky Valley (66/1), Cerulean Summer (150/1), Naught But Nice (150/1), George's Order (250/1)

Verdict

KIMI DE MAI went close at Roscommon last time, where a mistake at the last may have cost her victory, and, back down in trip, she is taken to open her account. Impressive Galway bumper winner Brickfield Belle is feared most, with Silk Buds also respected after making the frame in bumpers.

  2. BRICKFIELD BELLE (IRE)
