Forecasts

Bizarre Dreams (5/2), Finsceal Annie (11/4), Simple Endeavour (7/2), Dolce Far Niente (9/2), Game Phoenix (5/1), Buckhead Betty (7/1), Sobriety Blue (10/1), Sweet Verona (11/1), Gregorina (11/1), Labhaoise (11/1), Poppy Pimento (12/1), Step To Somewhere (14/1), Hemight (20/1), Fairy Wings (25/1), Latin (25/1), Dark Blue Diamond (33/1), Saxon Kingdom (50/1)

With improvement anticipated now upped in trip for this handicap debut, LABHAOISE could be worth chancing. Indeed, she didn't shape at all badly in a 7f Fairyhouse maiden last time when doing all her best work at the finish. Finsceal Annie is in good form and, fresh from her near miss at Tipperary on Sunday (due to go up 5 lb for that), she is feared most. Bizarre Dreams and Simple Endeavour are others to consider.
