Forecasts

Alfalfa (7/2), La Dame Blanche (6/1), Speckled Meadow (13/2), Bridge Of Dawn (10/1), Giselles Defence (10/1), Kermiya (11/1), Inchiquin Maid (14/1), Evening's Empire (14/1), Patrick Street (16/1), Stormy Jenn (18/1), Team Of Firsts (18/1), New Hill (18/1), Fashion Flair (20/1), Snowhaven (22/1), Douglas Dc (25/1), Magic Charm (28/1), Awqaat (28/1), Slamadoor (33/1), Catwalk Couture (33/1), Dazzling Spirit (33/1), Velvet And Vine (33/1)

Verdict

Michael Mulvany has his team in form so LA DAME BLANCHE gets the nod to build on her back-to-form second at Naas earlier in the month. Alfalfa was narrowly behind the selection at Naas and is second choice ahead of Bridge of Dawn and Patrick Street.

  1. LA DAME BLANCHE (IRE)
  2. ALFALFA (IRE)
  3. BRIDGE OF DAWN (IRE)
