Forecasts

Ruaille Buaille (8/13), Arthurian Fame (4/1), Grange Walk (5/1), Railway Hurricane (12/1), Bal De Rio (12/1), Behind The Curtain (28/1)

RUAILLE BUAILLE created a fine impression when supplementing her bumper win on hurdles debut at Punchestown a month ago, and with further progress forthcoming, she will take some stopping. Grange Walk's level is slightly more established but he ought to give it a good on these terms.
