Forecasts

Hurricane Georgie (5/4), Toor Moment (13/2), Kingston Retreat (7/1), Gotthenod (7/1), Glory For Molly (17/2), Good As Hell (10/1), Buttons And Bows (12/1), Costalita (12/1), Karen's Gift (16/1), Capture The Action (25/1), Uppertown Mya (50/1), Lighthouse Lady (66/1), Gold Creek (80/1), Agirlcalledchloe (100/1)

HURRICANE GEORGIE is a useful chaser and lurks on a good mark back hurdling so makes plenty of appeal. Toor Moment has to be feared after her Tipperary near-miss, with Gotthenod another to consider.
