Forecasts

Wingspan (7/4), Hanalia (5/2), Tarawa (11/2), Sakti (13/2), Uluru (15/2), Beechwood (14/1), Nostringsattached (16/1), Unreasonable (18/1), Adelaise (33/1)

Verdict

The one who appeals most is HANALIA, who performed with plenty of credit upped to 1½m in the Irish Oaks here last month and she may well have more to offer now dropping back in class and trip. The unexposed and very well-bred Wingspan should also have better days ahead and she rates the main danger on the back of her recent listed success at Gowran. Uluru, who went close in a French Group 3 last time, and Tarawa are others to consider.

  1. HANALIA (IRE)
