Forecasts

Curraheen Princess (5/2), Little Queenie (3/1), Harmony Rose (9/2), Dun Na Sead (13/2), Red Wasp (13/2), Maggie Thunder (10/1), Sister Rosetta (25/1)

CURRAHEEN PRINCESS continues to thrive and she can add to her excellent strike rate despite a rise for landing a 17-runner event at Navan last time. Little Queenie looks the chief threat, although it would be no surprise to see some improvement from Dun Na Sead now she's back in trip.
