Forecasts

Eabha Grace (1/1), Law Ella (2/1), Halka Du Tabert (5/2), Parvos (16/1), Got To Fly (25/1), Cool Croi (50/1), Stellify (50/1), Broomfield Bijou (66/1), Billies Filly (66/1), Cool Legacy (80/1), O Faolains Lass (100/1), Theretirementfund (100/1), Castle Hide Tide (100/1), Liberty Stream (100/1), Take My Hand (125/1), Roccabaker (125/1), The Big Cloud (125/1), Castle Arms Casa (125/1), Velvet Reel (125/1), Ballygriffin Girl (150/1), Always Giving (150/1), Outdoor Mozzy (200/1), Tullig Wood (200/1), Emily's Fortune (250/1), Darkest Dawn (250/1), Georgie's Gal (250/1)

A winner of her only start in points, HALKA DU TABERT justified cramped odds to make her first start in bumpers a winning one over 2m here 38 days ago and she could well be up to continuing the good work now her attentions switch to hurdling. Eabha Grace for Willie Mullins and Law Ella are others fancied to play a part.
