Forecasts

Verdict

Plenty in with chances but preference is for BETULA, who found the step up to Group 2 company too much on just her second outing but back in maiden company, Jessica Harrington's filly can make it third time lucky. Wendla produced a promising first effort when finishing runner-up at Cork recently so she could provide the main threat, while Everlasting, Porters Place and Evening Blossom are just a trio of newcomers requiring close attention.
