Forecasts

Lakefield Flyer (7/2), Themanintheboots (9/2), Fairland (11/2), Kilballyowen (8/1), Ask The Leader (17/2), Finnians Row (11/1), Annie Bella (11/1), Sean Og (14/1), Some Woman (16/1), Dont Doubt Me (18/1), Golden Nugget (20/1), Indian Admiral (22/1), The Miser (33/1)

FAIRLAND has won a point since her encouraging third in a Cork hunter and might prove the answer to this maiden chase. Ask The Leader and Lakefield Flyer are likely to play prominent roles if able to translate their fair hurdle form to fences at the first time of asking.
