Forecasts

Rigmarole (2/1), Carrigmoorna Elm (3/1), Shesdoenwell (4/1), Brog Ban Espana (13/2), Rossies Tara (10/1), Maggie Barrett (12/1), Elusive Touch (16/1)

BROG BAN ESPANA will ultimately be best over obstacles in time but she may have enough ability to make a winning start in a bumper where the bar isn't set very high by those with experience. Fellow newcomer Rigmarole could pose the main threat unless Carrigmoorna Elm takes a step forward from her debut.
