Forecasts

Yukon Lil (1/6), Mt Leinster Gold (3/1), Felicidad (7/2), Dubai Daisy (33/1), Elite Des Mottes (33/1), Darrens Diamond (50/1), Mama Tried (80/1), Roccocal (100/1), Sootability (125/1)

The useful YUKON LIL can make a successful return to hurdles, most likely at the expense of Colin Bowe's recent Fairyhouse winner Mt Leinster Gold. Felicidad is clear best of the rest.
