Forecasts

The Folkes Tiara (6/5), Perceval Legallois (6/4), Vibrance (13/2), Don't Tell Allen (11/1), Bonne Derreen (16/1), Croi Corcra (25/1), Ask Carla (33/1), Good Girl Robin (50/1), Larkfield Looney (50/1), Mangan Sue (80/1), As You Do (80/1), Eva Said No (125/1), Qatar Spirit (150/1), Gaye Niniski (150/1)

THE FOLKES TIARA looked the most likely winner for much of the straight when runner-up at Killarney 23 days ago, and with more to come now back up in trip, he gets the nod to make it third time lucky under Rules. Perceval Legallois and Vibrance are considered the main threats.
