Forecasts

Mick Charlie (5/2), Le Hachette (3/1), Daisy's Hollow (9/2), Hopefully (5/1), Myladyrose (6/1), Mickey Shea (8/1), Call His Bluff (8/1), Not So Simple (17/2), Feagreen Native (17/2), Mrs Davies (10/1), Frazel Express (18/1), By Rail (33/1), Baby Bellini (50/1), Oldcastle (50/1)

DAISY'S HOLLOW was an improved second at Tramore last time and is selected to build on that and go one better. This is a quick turnaround for Mick Charlie after Killarney on Saturday but he'll be a major threat if in similar form. Hopefully is evidently a Willie Mullins lesser light but will have a say if recapturing the level of her penultimate Tramore third.
