Forecasts

Carirose (7/4), Fox Fearless (5/2), Chimeric (7/1), Phoenix Open (7/1), Miss Cunning (10/1), Barnhill Rose (12/1), Spirituoso (12/1), Eastern Racer (14/1), Bosca Cheoil (14/1), Flylikeaneagle (16/1), Stardayz (16/1), Accessory (16/1), Royal Tribute (16/1), Maccliff (22/1), Everylittlestep (22/1), Atlas (22/1), Simply Sideways (40/1), Saxonhill (50/1), Sceptred Isle (150/1)

The vote foes to PHOENIX OPEN, who put in a good shift when fifth of 12 in a Dundalk handicap last time and he remains on an attractive enough mark. Carirose is feared greatly on the back of her near miss at Tipperary, while Fox Fearless, a winner at Bellewstown a fortnight ago, and Miss Cunning are other who could have a part to play in the finish.
