Forecasts

Rampage (4/1), Complete Fiction (9/2), Rockbury Lad (11/2), Shona Mea (7/1), Skontonovski (7/1), Feature This (15/2), Vidala (8/1), Init Together (10/1), Smaoineamh Sile (11/1), Slamadoor (12/1), Boomerang Bill (12/1), Areana (12/1), Bright Moment (16/1), Patrick Street (16/1), Tynamite (16/1), Kampala Beach (20/1), Magic Charm (20/1), Muhalhel (20/1), Kalaroun (25/1), Big Dream (28/1), Treble Cone (33/1), Alqabeela (50/1), Crystal Pool (50/1)

This is wide open and while disappointing on her only start on turf, FEATURE THIS gets the verdict to pick up from where she left off at Dundalk 3 months ago and notch career victory number 3 from the same mark. Rampage is threatening to come good soon, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Shona Mea, last year's winner Smaoineamh Sile and Bright Moment are just a handful of others to consider.
