Forecasts

Walk In The Brise (11/8), Japers Jack (2/1), Quite Incredible (11/2), Hans Gruber (13/2), Givemylovetorose (16/1), Thunder Down Under (20/1), Standupandstandout (40/1), Rewrite The Script (50/1), Autumn In The Park (80/1), Cornhill Lass (150/1)

WALK IN THE BRISE left her hurdles debut form well behind when third in a mares' race at Tramore last month and, with further progress likely now upped in trip, she will prove hard to beat. Japers Jack and Quite Incredible both make each-way appeal but Hans Gruber, who arrives here on the back of a clear-cut success between the flags, could be the one to follow the selection home.
