Forecasts

Poker D'Ainay (4/9), Dona Katharina (4/1), Hang In There (7/1), Curramore (8/1), Dedanann (16/1), Doyen's Diva (20/1), Mahler Supreme (40/1), Fraisin (50/1)

Verdict

POKER D'AINAY represents the best in the business and may not need to be right out of the top drawer in order to make a winning start in what appears an ordinary enough affair. Roscommon fifth Dona Katharina should be capable of more and can improve a place or two while newcomers Hang In There and Dedanann have some merit on paper too.
