Forecasts

Norwigi (4/9), Lunar Display (6/4), Western Zara (9/2), Mamaslittlestar (12/1), Red Sole Diva (12/1), Beatty Trix (18/1), Ali's Glory (20/1), Samcro's Sister (22/1), Biddy A Chroi (33/1), Bodeenbelle (33/1), Le Fou's Keep (40/1), Mollyo (100/1), Hatfield Spring (125/1), Only For Pascal (150/1), Grey Like Myself (300/1)

This represents a good opportunity for NORWIGI, who was third to the potentially useful La Chanteuse on debut over hurdles here last month. The task facing Enda Bolger's charge will be simplified if, as expected, Lunar Display doesn't line up following a fine run at Navan on Sunday. If that is the case, Western Zara will make the cut and may emerge as the main danger ahead of newcomer Ali's Glory.
