Forecasts

Withallduerespect (9/4), Tagg's Island (4/1), Heliers Bay (9/2), All The Angels (5/1), Dazzling Darren (7/1), Champagne Izzy (8/1), Secret Sea (8/1), Still Alive (17/2), Fortfield Lady (10/1), Galaxy Girl (10/1), Willyouwalkwithme (12/1), Hitchcock (16/1), Drummer (20/1), Novano (20/1), Offaly Star (33/1), Glebe Girl (50/1), Sonny John (50/1), Acrux Cass (66/1), Cloneen Lady (200/1)

This can go to DAZZLING DARREN if he can transfer his recent improvement on the Flat back to hurdling. Withallduerespect is steadily going the right way and looks an interesting rival, with Secret Sea completing the shortlist.
