Forecasts

Western Victory (2/7), Bonarc (4/1), Ava Rose (8/1), Make My Heart Fly (14/1), Gaelic Force (200/1), Drumbaragh (250/1), Insouciance (300/1)

This looks a good opening for the largely reliable WESTERN VICTORY. Make My Heart Fly made a decent return from a break over fences at Punchestown recently and is the obvious threat to Declan Queally's mare.
