Forecasts

Ceanndana (11/8), Jenny Flex (9/4), Will You Win (3/1), Colonel Bellew (4/1), Bonarc (4/1), Trishknowsbest (9/1), Zettabyte (10/1), Chelseas Friend (12/1), Finnians Row (22/1), Cross Court (33/1), Coastguard Lady (50/1), Just For Yuse (150/1)

WILL YOU WIN came down early at Tramore last time but is taken to confirm her chasing debut promise now at the chief expense of Ceanndana who goes chasing on the back of a Killarney hurdles success. Fellow fencing newcomer Jenny Flex is in good hands and another who merits respect in an open contest.
