Forecasts

Ard Abhainn (7/4), Heaven Help Us (11/4), Rebel Og (5/1), Dollys Destination (6/1), Flicker Flame (12/1), Botani (16/1), Sailingtobyzantium (16/1), Tara Dylan (50/1), Mystery Stowaway (66/1)

Verdict

Although she was probably flattered when second in a Grade 1 last time, HEAVEN HELP US did enough there to suggest she is up to winning at this level and has plenty going for her. Rebel Og is very interesting given her connections although she has a bit to find, while Ard Abhainn has talent but will need to be on top of her game dropping back to this minimum trip. Sailingtobyzantium sprang a surprise win last time but there was no fluke about it and a bold show here would not be out of place.
