Forecasts

Dee Capo (11/8), What's Up Darling (15/8), She's A Fine Wine (10/3), My Gaffer (11/1), Zolpharine (40/1), Your Honor (50/1)

SHE'S A FINE WINE wasn't hard pressed to make a successful hurdling debut at Limerick last month and looks the type to go onto much better things, so she's the obvious choice in receipt of weight from the geldings. The Gordon Elliott-trained pair Dee Capo and What's Up Darling also look promising, and they are considered the main threats.
