Forecasts

Landa Beach (3/1), Different Beat (13/2), Dedanann (7/1), Jenny's Getaway (15/2), Rare Conor (8/1), Let Her Flow (9/1), Oskar High (11/1), Hello Pilgrim (12/1), Gloves On (14/1), Youngnedofthehill (16/1), Dorans River (18/1), Shumaker (20/1), Lord Gillygooley (20/1), Ran Rite (33/1), Aldo The Apache (33/1), Daicheadacuig (33/1), Curious Bride (33/1), Paddy Wickla (50/1), Elegant Dan (66/1)

LET HER FLOW's form is on an upward curve so she is fancied to add to her recent Bellewstown victory here. Sligo runner-up Hello Pilgrim rates a big threat if the blinkers can eke out a bit more improvement while course-scorer Youngnedofthehill is another to consider in a very open handicap.
