Forecasts

No Fussing (6/4), Lizlucky (4/1), Lissen To The Lady (4/1), Sarah Beara (4/1), Pipers Boreen (6/1), Bestaline (15/2), Get Down To It (14/1), Hidden Land (28/1), Whatucallher (33/1), Katherine (50/1)

NO FUSSING made a well-backed rapid improver work hard for the win here 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go. Clonmel-winner Lissen to The Lady and Pipers Boreen are a couple of the other likely players in a good contest.
