Forecasts

Stormy Ireland (7/2), Queens Brook (4/1), Telmesomethinggirl (4/1), Burning Victory (6/1), Echoes In Rain (7/1), Mrs Milner (14/1), Martello Sky (16/1), Marie's Rock (18/1), Heaven Help Us (22/1), Indefatigable (40/1), Western Victory (200/1), Nada To Prada (300/1)

Last year's Dawn Run winner TELMESOMETHINGGIRL came out clear best at the weights when third in a Leopardstown Grade 3 over Christmas and a repeat of that form might be good enough here. Queens Brook may have just needed it when beaten by Burning Victory at Punchestown last month and can turn the tables on Willie Mullins' charge and fill the forecast spot. Stormy Ireland completes the shortlist.
