Forecasts

Blue Velvet (4/5), Derryville (4/1), Grainne A Chroi (6/1), Arctic Flame (8/1), Music Of Life (14/1), Katie Daniels (25/1), Menas Miracle (25/1), Wildfield Sky (25/1), Heather View (40/1), Rose Mountain (40/1), Ballymoreen (50/1), Treenbeg (50/1), Walk On Annilog (66/1), Koolio Kate (66/1), La Conquiere (80/1), Tenacious Spirit (80/1), Shiroccoblue (80/1), Taktique Gagnante (100/1), Palpatate (100/1), Magical Lass (300/1)

BLUE VELVET was picked up for six figures after shaping best (unseated late) in a point and, having joined a top yard, she's likely to make a successful Rules debut in a race that lacks depth. Grainne A Chroi is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection doesn't come up to expectations and Arctic Flame is an interesting newcomer on pedigree.
