Forecasts

Concertista (2/1), Elimay (9/4), Mount Ida (5/2), Zambella (10/1), Vienna Court (14/1), Scarlet And Dove (28/1), Pink Legend (33/1), Maid O'Malley (100/1)

Verdict

ELIMAY had to settle for second behind a very classy stablemate in the inaugural running of this but can go one better now. Mount Ida beat the selection at Fairyhouse in January but there is a worry she'll jump out to her right back on a left-handed track. She got away with it in the Kim Muir last year but may not do so against an opponent of Elimay's calibre. Concertista is best of the rest.

  1. ELIMAY (FR)
  2. MOUNT IDA (IRE)
  3. CONCERTISTA (FR)
