Forecasts

Feddans (8/11), Roccos Inspiration (15/8), Apples In Winter (7/1), Broomfield Bijou (15/2), Fortunefavorsdbold (25/1), Crossgales Ophelia (25/1), Aultown Keppols (25/1), Young Darleen (33/1), Double Dating (40/1), Sweet Bonnie (50/1), Milajess (66/1), Alo's Vision (66/1), No Fussing (100/1), Well Loved (100/1), Native Song (125/1), Walk Out (150/1), Shes So Glorious (150/1), Smiths Sister (150/1), Xael (200/1)

FEDDANS produced her best effort yet over hurdles when second in a big-field contest at Fairyhouse a month ago and a repeat of that effort may well suffice. Roccos Inspiration is second choice on form, while Double Dating has to be better than she showed in a bumper.
