Forecasts

Gentle And Kind (1/1), Misty's Gift (3/1), Down Around (9/2), Reverend Hubert (11/2), Dylan's Day (6/1), Silver Gazette (10/1), Rock On Pedro (14/1), Walmix (28/1), Glorious Singer (50/1), Forest Breeze (50/1), The Empty Kettel (50/1), Lady Lilly (66/1), Truckers Fame (66/1), Zingara Lass (66/1), Younowhatimean (125/1), Le Sin Bin (150/1), Picinisco (150/1), Laidback Joanie (200/1)

Point winner GENTLE AND KIND made a most promising start under Rules when runner-up in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and, with improvement on the cards, she is taken to go one better here. Reverend Hubert was pretty useful on the Flat for Richard Hannon and also found just one too good on his first run in this sphere at Roscommon. He is next on the list ahead of Dylan's Day, while Misty's Gift and Walmix are others to consider.
