Forecasts

Quarry Lil (10/3), Nell's Well (10/3), Boghlone Honey (4/1), Irregularheartbeat (6/1), Monty's Mission (15/2), Inagh's Gift (15/2), Lar's Lass (12/1), Knockraha Katie (14/1), Joeswayornoway (16/1), Blossoming Forth (16/1), Glorious Singer (20/1), Maria Francesca (25/1), Some Day Jemima (25/1), Tipperary Dexter (33/1), Charlotte Wells (33/1), Robin Des Ruby (40/1), Shadows Return (50/1)

BOGHLONE HONEY took a step forward when hitting the crossbar at Gowran in January and, with the possibility of even better to come from this 6-y-o, she could be the answer. Nell's Well also found just one too good last time and she is greatly respected, while Irregularheartbeat appears to be going the right way judged on her latest effort here and she is also feared now pitched into a handicap.
