Forecasts

Baby Kate (8/13), Smiling Bess (7/2), Switch From Diesel (6/1), Lady Masquerade (15/2), Wild Mandate (8/1), River Robe (12/1), Pampar Lady (25/1), Dark Treat (40/1), Western Summer (100/1), Loch Awe (150/1)

BABY KATE represents a top yard and is out of a bumper winner, so she's a straightforward to make a successful start at the likely expense of Lady Masquerade who shaped with encouragement when third in a novice hurdle at Limerick last month. Smiling Bess is also considered.
