Forecasts

Dreamingandhoping (13/8), Killultagh Bella (5/2), Beth Horan (11/2), Dysart Diamond (11/2), Nell's Well (12/1), Annie Kate (14/1), Razzle Dazzle Love (20/1), Mollys Glory (33/1), Sacred Spring (33/1), Game Bird (100/1)

The Willie Mullins-trained KILLULTAGH BELLA is closely related to solid and consistent winning hurdler Crown Of Gold and can get off the mark in the closing bumper on debut. The daughter of Presenting could turn out to be smart under jockey Patrick Mullins ahead of the likes of the experienced Dreamingandhoping assisted by first-time hood and the Gordon Elliott-trained Beth Horan who will be having her fourth bumper start.
