Forecasts

The Real Screamer (7/4), Roman Harry (11/2), Yes Oui Si (11/2), Signor Ferrari (15/2), Church Mountain (12/1), Ameilya (14/1), Benavente (14/1), Man Is King (16/1), Spy (16/1), Lohengrin (16/1), Tartaraghan (20/1), Bungle Inthedesert (25/1), Ivasecret (25/1), Smaoineamh Sile (25/1), Magic Charm (28/1), La Tulipe Noire (33/1), Knockmore Prince (80/1)

AMEILYA resumes in this sphere on the back of an unsuccessful stint over hurdles, while her latest effort on the Flat at Roscommon last July wasn't exactly inspiring. Conversely, she still has low mileage and will prove hard to beat on these terms if able to get back to something close to the form she showed when landing a Gowran maiden last spring. Signor Ferrari has the second-best chance at the weights and is feared accordingly, with The Real Screamer best of the rest.
