Forecasts

Manisanda (7/4), Benny The Duke (10/3), Champ De Gane (4/1), Trendy Lady (4/1), Golden Armour (7/1), Starzov (15/2), Val The Man (12/1), Sunkist (16/1), Bells Life (22/1), Robindale (40/1), Planet Janet (50/1), Roman Parish (66/1), Annie Merrick (66/1), Mugsy Delight (100/1), Paidi's Passion (150/1), Blue Motion (150/1), Paperman (150/1), Lovely Hans (200/1)

An ordinary maiden hurdle that can go to MANISANDA for connections who enjoyed success at Galway at the weekend. She ran well in a deeper event at Ballinrobe 13 weeks ago and could have more to offer. Trendy Lady and Champ de Gane are a couple of the other main contenders.
