Forecasts

Enfranchise (15/8), She's A Fine Wine (6/1), Me Wee Bonnie Lass (8/1), Champella (10/1), Royal Eagle (12/1), A Law Of Her Own (12/1), Ballycashin (16/1), Minx Tiara (16/1), Tankardstown Diva (16/1), Miss Fourie (20/1), Missus Beeton (20/1), Betty Dutton (20/1), Rockstown Girl (20/1), Henning (25/1), Gone For Tea (25/1), Kimy (25/1), Jolie Jewel (28/1), Mount Sinai (28/1), Glan (33/1), Pampar Lady (33/1), Presenting Doyen (50/1), St Anthonys Corner (66/1)

This looks wide open but ENFRANCHISE edges the vote given she looks to return to this sphere on a handy mark after scoring in Listed company on the Flat and run well in that sphere 2 days ago. She's A Fine Wine has more to offer and could emerge as the main danger, although Clonmel scorer Ballycashin and last year's victor A Law of Her Own can have a say too. Miss Fourie and Royal Eagle complete the shortlist.
