Forecasts

Brookline (10/11), Nine Graces (5/1), Reine Machine (11/2), North Of Nashville (13/2), Knockanard Lady (9/1), Saratoga Lass (28/1), Clonmoyle (33/1), C'est Rien (50/1), Miss Sunset (80/1), Covermeinsunshine (125/1), Jakes Dream (200/1)

BROOKLINE showed a fair level of ability for Padraig Roche in maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse and Cork last season, and she is taken to make a winning start in this sphere on debut for the Willie Mullins yard. Reine Machine should pick up a race before long, but if North of Nashville reproduces something akin to her latest hurdles debut effort back in a bumper she will be a bigger threat.
