Forecasts

Let Her Flow (4/1), Father Jed (9/2), I Don't Get It (9/2), No Logic (7/1), Bintheredonethat (17/2), Zambezir (9/1), Dasmyhoss (10/1), Mezyan (12/1), Stolen Moment (12/1), Lady L'lerom (16/1), Secret Cargo (16/1), Fleurys Fort (18/1), Saga Aravis (18/1), Callaghy Rose (18/1), Ballela Storm (33/1), Tara Mia (50/1), Baby Bellini (66/1), Meehall (66/1), Hellenic Fire (100/1)

I DON'T GET IT has yet to strike following 16 attempts over hurdles, but he was a clear second at Downpatrick recently and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice here. Next on the list is Let Her Flow, who opened her account in a Bellewstown handicap last time and a 6 lb rise does not look prohibitive. Secret Cargo is of interest back hurdling, while Zambezir also enters calculations.
