Forecasts

Bon Retour (4/9), Telmesomethinggirl (11/4), Ellie Mac (7/1), Two Shoe Tom (17/2), Cornakill Rose (40/1), Pour Sioux (50/1)

BON RETOUR would be dangerous to oppose on just her second start for Willie Mullins after her winning debut for the yard at Galway last month. Telmesomethinggirl and Two Shoe Tom are probably her biggest dangers.
