Forecasts

Amanha (7/4), Divaboriva (16/5), Shannon Bank (4/1), Lady Gooner (5/1), Leloopa (11/2), Wild Mandate (6/1), Kates Choice (15/2), Former Flame (10/1), Glannagaullitehous (14/1), Tillaway (20/1), Book Early (22/1), Deise Bella (25/1), Saidekelly (40/1), G'day My Lady (50/1), Lady Nightingale (50/1), Ballymores Dream (66/1), Valianco (80/1)

AMANHA upped her game when runner-up over C&D last time and this might not take much winning, so she's worth chancing to go one better. Shannon Bank is the obvious danger although Lady Gooner should make her presence felt if back to the sort of form she showed on debut.
