Forecasts

Capture The Action (9/2), Henning (9/2), Maggie Walsh (11/2), Good Bye Milan (13/2), Karen's Gift (13/2), Irregularheartbeat (13/2), Chacha Dancer (10/1), Seangoell (18/1), Bluebell Diva (20/1), Robyndeglory (20/1), Annie Pender (25/1), Kelly's Birr (28/1), Tingarran Express (33/1)

The drop to 2m is a slight concern for HENNING on the quick switch to a handicap but she retains plenty of potential so is the most persuasive option. Capture The Action isn't an easy ride but is weighted to go close, with Karen's Gift another to note.
