Forecasts

Yaxeni (2/1), Term Of Endearment (3/1), Seisai (13/2), Irish Lullaby (7/1), One For Bobby (11/1), Moracana (11/1), Sidiriya (16/1), Disco Boots (20/1), The Blue Brilliant (22/1), Hotter Than Hades (28/1), Willesee (33/1), Nectarine (33/1), Lakewood (100/1)

YAXENI holds the clear edge on form and can also boast a course win so looks the way to go here. Moracana is less exposed and not taken lightly on the back of her Leoparstown victory with Seisai, Irish Lullaby and The Blue Brilliant all shortlisted too in an open listed contest.
