Forecasts

Beret Rouge (11/8), Erins Benefit (2/1), Walking Fame (7/2), Felicidad (5/1), Juliet Maria (20/1), Toor Moment (25/1), Conquering Tara (33/1), Swiss Brid (33/1), Trip To Milan (50/1), Walk Alone (66/1), Eightytwo Team (100/1), Thatlldo (100/1), Citizen's Army (150/1), Springcool Lady (200/1), Kayla's Delight (200/1), Mayfly Girl (200/1), Shannon Gray (250/1)

BERET ROUGE won a bumper in good style on her debut in June and will likely be hard to beat if taking to hurdling. Felicidad is a potential improver now starting out for Gordon Elliott and may provide the chief threat ahead of John Kiely's recent Bellewstown bumper winner Erins Benefit.
