Forecasts

Filey Bay (3/1), Flamborough (7/1), Stoke The Fire (15/2), Brogue (8/1), Whiskey Sour (9/1), Immelmann (10/1), Prairie Dancer (12/1), Teed Up (12/1), Powerful Aggie (12/1), Mon Coeur (18/1), Lord Erskine (18/1), Raving Royal (20/1), Crassus (22/1), Belgoprince (25/1), Cozone (25/1), Lunar Power (33/1), Drop The Anchor (33/1)

Willie Mullins saddles four live contenders and RAVING ROYAL could be the pick of them, for all that she's been absent for a year. She made a winning handicap debut at Thurles when last seen and there should be plenty more to come from this unexposed filly. Immelmann, another representing the Mullins yard, looks a big threat on the back of his recent breakthrough success in this sphere. Brogue is also shortlisted, along with smart hurdler Filey Bay, who is making his handicap debut on the Flat.
