Forecasts

Salsaretta (1/12), Sweetlight D'oroux (5/1), Ar Eagla Na Heagla (9/1), Thatswhatshesaid (10/1), I'm Not Alone (20/1), Be My Dream (22/1), Kilkeaskin Molly (25/1), Lady Argentum (25/1), Sean Thyne (25/1)

Verdict

SALSARETTA can boast some decent form from her days in France and she can get off the mark at the third attempt for Willie Mullins in this opening maiden hurdle. The selection has been contesting Graded races since joining the yard and she can get the better of Sweetlight D'oroux who put in her best effort so far when second last time. Hurdling debutant Thatswhatshesaid ran well in a bumper last time and can claim third.
