Forecasts

Red Riding Hood (2/7), Shamwari (7/2), Dalliances (11/1), A Moment Like This (14/1), Letiza (22/1), Nunca (33/1), Fancy Nancy (80/1), Miss Heartbreak (200/1), Bride Tree (200/1)

RED RIDING HOOD showed plenty when runner-up in an Ascot novice on her sole 2-y-o start, and again when just touched off by a highly promising stablemate in a 1m Navan maiden recently. Armed with plenty of big-race entries, this well-bred filly will benefit from moving up in trip here and is confidently expected to make it third time lucky. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained duo, A Moment Like This and Nunca, may well fill the places, though Shamwari is worth a second look, too.
