Forecasts

Lighthouse Rose (6/4), Finding Joy (7/2), Mullaghmore Wave (9/2), Rain In Spain (5/1), So Near So Farhh (11/1), Hello Pilgrim (12/1), Pat's Pearl (16/1), Class Bishop Lady (25/1)

A case can be made for a few but the most persuasive one is for LIGHTHOUSE ROSE who landed this contest 12 months ago and arrives at the top of her game after a facile win here last month. Rain In Spain isn't taken lightly given her excellent recent form with So Near So Farhh likely to have a say too off an eased mark.
