Forecasts

River Trieux (13/8), Purely (10/3), Eleanor Shelby (7/2), Near Perfection (9/2), Blooming Rose (6/1), Friendly Invoice (14/1), Glamazon (16/1), Searcog (18/1), Beach Barbie (20/1), Hastily (100/1), Valerie O (200/1)

Preference is for RIVER TRIEUX, who bumped into a useful prospect at Cork second time up and Paddy Twomey's filly can leave her subsequent Fairyhouse effort behind dropped into claiming company. Joseph O'Brien saddles a couple and his recent C&D winner Eleanor Shelby rates as the main threat. Purely and Near Perfection can fight out third.
