Forecasts

All Lies Ahead (5/2), Expressova (7/2), Gypsy Woman (7/2), Nahori (7/1), Red Heel (9/1), Girl Racer (10/1), Everylittlestep (10/1), Lady Arwen (25/1)

GYPSY WOMAN upped her game to make all at Cork on her final 3-y-o outing and, 7 months on, she could pull off similar tactics at another track that's favourable to prominent racers. Expressova is an obvious player on debut for Joseph O'Brien and Everylittlestep could get back on track on return.
