Forecasts

Finest Evermore (8/13), Carrigeen Lotus (7/1), Global Equity (15/2), Botani (10/1), Boher Cailin (14/1), The Sliding Rock (18/1), Majestic Maid (20/1), Skyace (28/1)

FINEST EVERMORE has looked all class since joining Willie Mullins and should take this next step up the ladder in her stride. Global Equity is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines and The Sliding Rock can't be completely ruled out.
