Forecasts

Splashing Out (4/5), Queen Nel (15/8), Miss Agusta (9/2), Heidi's Frontiere (50/1), Maivangomary (150/1)

SPLASHING OUT must cast aside a tame effort at Leopardstown but she sets the clear standard on his C&D handicap success in November so she looks the way to go. Queen Nel was impressive at Gowran a fortnight ago and is the obvious threat.
