Forecasts

Eleanorofaquitaine (1/1), Quivvy Lough (3/1), Cut And Run (4/1), On The Quiet (12/1), Perfectly Honest (14/1), Winter Holiday (25/1)

The opening mares maiden hurdle can go the way of ELEANOROFAQUITAINE who has finished fourth on both of her outings over hurdles to date. The selection represents a good yard and she can see off Cut And Run who showed good form when placed on seasonal debut last month. Third place can go to On The Quiet who was a bumper winner on her penultimate start.
