Forecasts

The West Awaits (6/4), Dreamingandhoping (3/1), Sweet Street (7/2), Monas Melody (5/1), Little Actress (6/1), Daisy Dufresne (12/1), Rambling Rose (22/1), Darrens Diamond (28/1), Trouble And Strife (33/1), Running Skeard (50/1), Come On Sally (50/1), Mourne Mist (50/1), Courting Insanity (50/1), Thewayyouact (66/1), Windmill Lady (66/1), Raven Queen (80/1), Sojouner Truth (125/1), Bealnablath (150/1), Quins Court (150/1), Chitchat Sally (200/1)

THE WEST AWAITS showed an aptitude for hurdling after a year off at Punchestown last month and, with the run likely to bring her on, she looks the way to go. Sweet Street pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Leopardstown and can give another good account, with Dreamingandhoping and Monas Melody also feared.
