Forecasts

Clonmacash (9/4), Moral Turpitude (4/1), Scorchio (6/1), Harry The Rogue (13/2), Beano Power (7/1), Milliethemollie (8/1), Buddy Batt (8/1), Blame Thechampagne (12/1), Valentino Express (12/1), Seven Eleven (25/1), Mary Shoelaces (33/1)

MILLIETHEMOLLIE took a big step forward on her nursery bow when runner-up at Naas and is weighted to go one better off a 3 lb higher mark here. Recent Down Royal scorer Seven Eleven rates the chief danger ahead of Harry The Rogue, who wasn't seen to best effect when eighth here last time out.
