Forecasts

Lightsider (2/1), Casamari Abbey (11/2), Tropical Stream (11/2), Mezyan (6/1), Rule Of June (13/2), Shedding (15/2), Arctic Sofia (10/1), Musical Ava (11/1), Courtin Bb (12/1), Last Return (14/1), Senorita Madore (22/1), Ladymorata (25/1), Megara (33/1), Mrs Pops (40/1), Short Story Long (50/1), Bluesea Storm (80/1), Goodnightmare (125/1)

An open race but LADYMORATA wasn't seen to best effect at Downpatrick last time and has eased a bit further in the weights, so she could be the answer sporting first-time cheekpieces. Casamari Abbey must enter calculations following a good third at Punchestown, while similar comments apply to Shedding, who ran well here last time.
