Forecasts

Maggie Walsh (9/4), Globetrottersivola (10/3), Inchiquin Star (5/1), Cruisin Susan (11/2), Boskill Borden (6/1), Redwood Queen (6/1), Morricone (7/1), Up And Out (8/1), Surviving Murmansk (9/1), Neev's Dream (10/1), Mosaaheb (16/1), Mick Charlie (20/1), Grizabella (20/1), Port Rashid (22/1), Lodge Prince (50/1)

Preference is for REDWOOD QUEEN, who was beaten a fair way at Roscommon but she is well worth another chance on the strength of her encouraging debut for this yard when returning from a 7-month absence at Punchestown in May. Globetrottersivola opened his account at Kilbeggan recently and is next on the list, while handicap debutant Boskill Borden is also shortlisted, along with Maggie Walsh.
