Forecasts

Arnold (5/1), Tathmeen (5/1), Lincoln Pride (11/2), Embla (11/2), Billy Wedge (7/1), Slainte Mhath (8/1), Dirty Leeds (9/1), Birdie Bowers (14/1), Cheese The One (16/1), Zamjar (22/1), See My Baby Jive (25/1), Storm Master (80/1)

SLAINTE MHATH remains with few miles still on the clock and looked to have something left in the tank when getting off the mark at Ayr in May so is fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise in the weights. In-form duo Billy Wedge and Arnold should ensure Katie Scott's filly doesn't have things all her own way though and can chase her home in that order.
