Forecasts

Le Coq Hardi (11/8), Rockstown Girl (13/8), Penny West (4/1), If You Let Me (9/2), On The Steel (10/1), Valsorpresa (14/1), Morning Soldier (18/1), Stenatee (80/1)

ROCKSTOWN GIRL won comfortably at Tipperary at the start of the summer and can follow up with further improvement likely. Le Coq Hardi looks next best ahead of If You Let Me, although Willie Mullins newcomer Penny West would also have to enter the reckoning if the betting suggests she's fancied.
