Forecasts

Space Tourist (30/100), Say Goodbye (3/1), Miss Fourie (4/1), Popova (17/2), Light Parade (40/1), C'est Rien (50/1), Boxcar Molly (100/1)

SPACE TOURIST lost her unbeaten record over hurdles at Galway but she was let down by her jumping upped in grade and this looks a good opportunity for her to resume winning ways. Say Goodbye looks the main threat but she does have an absence to overcome.
