Forecasts

Ruaille Buaille (4/7), Bioverdia (4/1), Majestic Maid (11/2), Floating Around (7/1), Emma Prada (14/1), Sporting Sally (20/1), Dandjira (33/1), I'm On Snap (40/1), Getting In Touch (80/1), Russell In Gold (80/1), Lough View (100/1), Bright Sunbird (150/1), Lil Codey (150/1), Rebelle Chaud (150/1), Bigly (150/1), Ocean River (200/1)

RUAILLE BUAILLE won as she liked in a Tramore bumper last month and should have a bright future over jumps. Bioverdia surely has a race in her in this sphere and is the clear danger in a first-time tongue tie.
