Forecasts

Natural Look (2/1), Jungle Prose (10/3), Camilla's Choice (15/2), Toor Moment (10/1), Well Polly (12/1), Blossom De Mai (12/1), Ardera Ru (14/1), Good Bye Milan (14/1), Getaclan (14/1), In A Nice Way (16/1), Let Her Flow (16/1), Glenmalure Lodge (16/1), Musical Ava (18/1), Stellar Symphony (25/1), Courting Vickie (25/1), Getaway Katie (28/1), Joan Of Pimlico (66/1), Albedan (125/1)

It's hard to ignore the claims of NATURAL LOOK, who has gradually progressed since venturing down the handicap route and an 8 lb rise for her Gowran breakthrough success may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Well Polly performed with credit when hitting the crossbar at Clonmel 3 weeks ago and she should have a part to play, while Jungle Prose and Good Bye Milan are others to consider.
