Forecasts

River Tara (4/5), Air Drop (4/1), Gaye Winnie (9/2), Gone For Tea (5/1), In A Little While (7/1), Sheemore (14/1), Anooa (50/1), Nagambler (50/1)

RIVER TARA made a positive start for Willie Mullins when second at Kilbeggan a couple of months ago and she looks well capable of going one better at the likely expense of Air Drop, who was fourth in a novice hurdle at Listowel recently. Gaye Winnie is the pick of the remainder.
