Forecasts

Scenic Look (7/4), Come On Du Berlais (15/8), Princess Sophia (11/2), Game Beaaa (7/1), Angelsworknovrtime (10/1), Glenstan (25/1), Neat Locality (28/1), Blossom De Mai (28/1), Maimie's Magic (33/1), Annaparnell (40/1), Kanors Girl (50/1), Pulsating (50/1), Emily In Paris (66/1), Rio Biumoso (66/1), Kilbride Girl (150/1), Starlight Oasis (150/1), M For Melody (250/1)

Bumper winner COME ON DU BERLAIS made a positive start over hurdles when second in a novice at Roscommon and he can improve enough to get off the mark in this sphere at the likely expense of Scenic Look, who is closely matched on form but more exposed. Game Beaaa is the best of the remainder.
