Forecasts

Dark Enigma (3/1), Land Lover (5/1), Charles Atlas (13/2), Always Love You (15/2), Beano Power (17/2), Comein Comein (9/1), Mary Shoelaces (10/1), She's Smart (14/1), Sophia Klimt (16/1), Platino Bianco (16/1), Veracidad (16/1), Stopitnowjulia (20/1)

DARK ENIGMA rook a big step forward when third to Land Lover at Sligo 16 days ago and on these 4 lb better terms, is just fancied to reverse that form. Of the rest, Platino Bianco is dangerous if repeating her effort in a kuch better race than this at Cork.
