Forecasts

Amor Verdadero (6/4), Champagne Beauty (7/2), Lunch In Adare (7/2), Fort Worth Texas (13/2), Winsor Vixen (13/2), Dynamic Allen (9/1), Howaya Aoife (14/1), I'm On Snap (25/1), Vic's Little Miss (33/1), Durrow Dancer (50/1)

FORT WORTH TEXAS probably needed the run on her recent reappearance and might be worth siding with here as she's a fairly useful hurdler and her 4 point wins suggest she should prove as effective over fences. Lunch In Adare should be suited by the step back up in trip and may provide the chief threat ahead of Gordon Elliott's Amor Verdadero.
