Forecasts
Top Othe Ra (6/4), Licklighter (2/1), Ard Na Carraig (4/1), Well Joey (14/1), Movingswiftlyalong (14/1), Echo Lady (20/1), Bomber Jackson (20/1), Legal Summit (33/1), Omygodrainagain (66/1), Dream On Girl (66/1), Meadow Blaze (100/1), Baby Bellini (100/1)
Top Othe Ra, Ard Na Carraig and Baby Bellini could contest the lead here off a not-so-strong pace. Bomber Jackson, Movingalongswiftly and Ard Na Carraig can all improve on their last starts, but preference is for TOP OTHE RA, second of 12, beaten not far here in extended 2m handicap hurdle, two weeks ago.
