Forecasts

Sears Crossing (2/1), Juniper Sling (5/2), Smithfield (11/4), Bryant (3/1), Superficial (6/1), Devine Genius (11/1), Sea Lantern (12/1), Master Sydney (12/1), A Pearl Starling (33/1), Sporting Aclaim (200/1)

JUNIPER SLING was too keen when fifth at Bellewstown and, in the hope that she settles better this time, the Sea The Stars filly is taken to build on her debut promise here. It probably wasn't a strong maiden in which Smithfield went down narrowly on his introduction at Galway, but he's entitled to improve and is second choice ahead of Sears Crossing. Also shortlisted is Bryant on his first run for the Adrian Murray yard and newcomer A Pearl Star needs a second look in the betting.
