Forecasts

Royal Hollow (5/2), Cottesloe Sunshine (3/1), Sansrisk (5/1), Femme Magnifique (11/2), Amanha (15/2), Dream On Baby (10/1), Love At Sea (16/1), Beauforts Storm (18/1), Folly Beach (40/1), Eve's Hope (66/1), Chautuaqua (100/1)

Verdict

COTTESLOE SUNSHINE holds the edge on the form of her good Punchestown third last time so looks the way to go. Femme Magnifique didn't enjoy the rub of the green when pulled up in that contest and could emerge as the main danger with Dream On Baby, Amanha and Royal Hollow all worthy of consideration too.

  1. COTTESLOE SUNSHINE (IRE)
  2. FEMME MAGNIFIQUE (IRE)
