Forecasts

Delightfantastic (7/2), Double Talkin Jive (9/2), Listentillitellyea (5/1), Lizlucky (9/1), Jakes Dream (9/1), Rips Dream (10/1), Madam Belle (12/1), General Clermont (14/1), Mastermind (16/1), Gold Creek (18/1), Movie King (18/1), Malbas (20/1), Ricky Bobby (20/1), Capture The Action (25/1), Dixon Line (28/1), Kalnoo (33/1), Jakie Mac (33/1), Prince Of Peace (125/1)

The three with the most appealing profiles are 7-y-os JAKES DREAM, Ricky Bobby and Double Talkin Jive. The last-named hasn't pulled up any trees in a trio of maiden hurdles, but this bumper winner hails from the Willie Mullins yard and could be about to leave that form well behind now pitched into a handicap. Still, he is third choice behind Jakes Dream and Ricky Bobby, with preference for the former who performed well on her recent handicap bow at Wexford.
