Forecasts

Metkayina (11/4), Field A Thistles (4/1), Rachel's Secret (6/1), Glens Lullaby (7/1), Magical Annie (8/1), Colleen Danu (11/1), Champs Rock (12/1), Cullig (14/1), Queen Nel (14/1), The Last Drop (20/1), Walk In The Shadow (22/1), Royal Cave (25/1), Arctic Annie (25/1), Knockarina (28/1), French Hill (33/1), Smiling Bess (40/1), Nothing Hectic (50/1), Day's A Dawning (80/1)

RACHEL'S SECRET was runner-up in a point and showed plenty when filling the same position in a novice hurdle at Trramore 17 days ago, so she's taken to go one better at the likely expense of Field A Thistle, who shaped well on debut. Colleen Danu is another one to consider.
