Forecasts

Magic Dawn (11/10), Joya Del Mar (9/4), True Testimony (11/2), Saddle Her Up (8/1), New York Style (10/1), Doyen Magic (11/1), Pinky (28/1), Speranza Wilde (66/1), Walk In The Shadow (66/1), Snegurochka (100/1), Miss Vivacious (125/1), Desperado Genie (150/1), Good Time Belle (200/1), Silverfort Lady (200/1), Mabel In May (200/1)

MAGIC DAWN was in the process of bettering her hurdling debut form when stumbling and unseating her rider at the last at Naas the previous month, so is well worth another chance in what looks a winnable race. Joya del Mar and True Testimony could be the pair to give her most to do.
