Forecasts

Amber Kite (11/10), Anna Strada (16/5), Give Her A Squeeze (7/2), Malaysian (8/1), Helvic Princess (10/1), Bela Boom (16/1), Tiger Mylk (16/1), Kaluz (28/1), Tosto (50/1), Moonhall Girl (50/1), White Pepper (50/1), Ahthatsgrand (50/1), Gentle Rain (50/1), Rare Flower (50/1), Speedy Pix (66/1), Our Secret Pearl (80/1), Styledome (100/1), Princess Emma (100/1)

It's hard to see past the chances of a couple with experience, notably Amber Kite, who has shown a good attitude on both starts so far at Limerick, beaten a nose on latest start and the Jessica Harrington-trained ANNA STRADA who may have got closer to the winner on debut at Bellewstown earlier this month if not blowing the start. Give Her A Squeeze for trainer Mark Fagan looks a potential improver following a couple of decent efforts so far, while Malaysian another in the line-up representing trainer Jessica Harrington and the Noel Meade-trained Helvic Princess appear capable of giving a good account.
