Forecasts

Arctic Gale (7/4), Pampar Lady (7/2), Field A Thistles (9/2), Mill House Creek (11/2), Drumgill (7/1), Savante (10/1), Break The Boundary (11/1), Kanpai (16/1), Half A Chance (25/1), Monty Cross (66/1), Vroomvroomboo (100/1), Milan Dollar Lady (125/1)

PAMPAR LADY would have gone close but for falling 3 out at Tipperary 2 weeks ago and can make amends if none the worse. Drumgill and Field A Thistles are feared most.
