Forecasts

Child Of Lir (9/4), Love Mocha (10/3), Western Cape (4/1), Sapristi (13/2), Donbeg Reel (15/2), Adare Beauty (10/1), Silkies Sib (16/1), Tasmanian Girl (33/1), Burvea (66/1), Irresistible You (66/1)

A low-key start to proceedings in which LOVE MOCHA is selected to get off the mark for her in-form yard dropped into claiming company for the first time. Western Cape may emerge as the main danger fitted with a first-time hood, with newcomer Child of Lir also making some appeal for Ger Lyons.
