Forecasts

Brave Way (1/2), Champagne Diva (7/2), Toor Hawk (6/1), Negroni (9/1), Jenny's Getaway (11/1), Daphne Moon (11/1), Red Iron (16/1), Fairytale Bliss (18/1), Dararian (33/1), Goatitagain (50/1), Ballybeatnik (66/1), Sienne D'or (125/1), Kilashee (125/1), Lady Federici (150/1), Blustery (200/1), Present Rock (250/1), Remember Jack (300/1)

Not many are of serious interest and BRAVE WAY could be the way to go. She won on her only start in points a year ago and cost leading connections £160,000. A bold bid first time up over hurdles wouldn't come as a surprise. Jenny's Getaway was a good third at Roscommon and is respected up in trip, while Negroni could be capable of a bigger performance with her sights switched to jumps.
