Forecasts

Theonewedreamof (11/4), Pipers Boreen (7/2), Clonbury Bridge (11/2), Vaureal (11/2), Tankardstown Diva (7/1), Jump The Shark (10/1), Walk In Time (11/1), Room To Roam (22/1), Wine An Dine (25/1)

THEONEWEDREAMOF rates the pick of these weights on the back of her good Cheltenham fifth so gets the vote in this open handicap. Tankardstown Diva should also have a say if none the worse for her late Down Royal fall, while Pipers Boreen and Clonbury Bridge need factoring in too.
