Forecasts

Trendy Lady (9/4), Kilballyowen (3/1), Emir De Rots (3/1), Rose Of Kalanisi (5/1), Wild Caprice (11/2), Roccorionach (11/2), Rebel Waltz (13/2), Punters Poet (14/1), Bonne Derreen (18/1), Beau's Candle (28/1), Milfordfourthree (33/1)

Winning pointer KILBALLYOWEN made a promising start in this sphere when third at Downpatrick and can take a sizeable step forward to open his account at the chief expense of Trendy Lady, who rates the form pick of those with experience. Emir de Rots has been in good nick over hurdles and appeals as the best of the remainder for place purposes now back over fences.
