Forecasts

True Self (1/3), Dawn Shadow (5/1), Best Of Dubai (8/1), April Serenade (9/1), Biento Madame (20/1), Betsy Boots (25/1), Fairy Tikkan (25/1), Bracka Lily (40/1), Lovetotalk (50/1)

Verdict

TRUE SELF showed the lessons of a near miss at Warwick last winter when taking a Galway Festival bumper last month with any amount in hand and looks certain to mount another bold bid here for the champion trainer. Downpatrick winner Dawn Shadow looks likely to keep the selection honest, having run well since in a Punchestown Grade 2 while the debutant Best Of Dubai looks promising on paper and is very much noted for the red-hot Elliott team with a handy claim to assist her.
  1. True Self
