Forecasts

Mise Raftaire (2/1), Gargouille (4/1), Carrigeen Castle (11/2), Springfield Lodge (13/2), Inagh's Gift (10/1), Highstreetfashion (12/1), Fahrenheit De Lecu (14/1), Fainche (14/1), Aodhan May (16/1), Princess Mahler (18/1), Galaxy Girl (20/1), Miss Oriental (28/1), Mustafa (28/1), Big Bee Hive (33/1), Caridadi (33/1), Ocodango Boy (33/1), Ballyeden Lass (50/1), Early Arrival (80/1), I'vedoneitall (125/1)

GARGOUILLE signalled she's ready to open her account when an excellent second over C&D so looks the way to go here. Mise Raftaire is feared most on the back of his good Gowran fourth while Galaxy Girl can't be ruled out after her break.
