Forecasts

Princess Rajj (7/2), Amanirenas (9/2), Gobi Star (5/1), She's Local (15/2), Broken Silence (15/2), Above It All (15/2), Shimmerz (8/1), Miss Slovakia (11/1), Happenstance (14/1), Soyounique (16/1), Von Krolock (16/1), Badinage (22/1), Qalahari Queen (25/1), General Idea (33/1), Victory Lantern (33/1), El Maga (40/1), Hilltop's Bear (66/1), Bride Tree (100/1), Benerville (100/1)

PRINCESS RAJJ was a dual winner last summer and signalled she's ready to strike again when third at Gowran last time so gets the vote off a 1 lb lower mark here. Curragh scorer Shimmerz is next on the list after her break with the lightly-raced Miss Slovakia and handily-weighted Gobi Star two others who can have a say in an open contest.
