Forecasts

Iriskana (9/4), Lucky Viv (4/1), Our Girl Sal (13/2), Hurricane Honey (13/2), Champersinthepark (7/1), I Am Shadow (9/1), Spice Diva (14/1), River Robe (14/1), Idol (18/1), Rosfoyle (25/1), In A Nice Way (33/1), Kilbarry Saint (40/1), Mason Lady (40/1), Loughrask Sunrise (50/1), Cedar Wood (66/1), Barryroe Madam (125/1), Five Minutes More (125/1)

LUCKY VIV is going the right way over hurdles and a repeat of the level she displayed when a close second ar Tramore last time may well suffice. Iriskana is the main threat on form, though Champersinthepark may well have won a point had she stood up back in February.
