Forecasts

Miss Gherkin (9/4), The Banger Doyle (11/4), The Derry Girl (3/1), Liberated Light (9/2), Noriska De La Mare (20/1), Hill Rocket (25/1), Irish Impulse (25/1), Inchiquin Maid (33/1)

Verdict

LIBERATED LIGHT was a fair winner on the Flat and looks the type to do better in this sphere now switched to a handicap. The Banger Doyle shaped well back over hurdles the last twice and remains well treated on chase form, while Miss Gherkin showed improved form when off the mark in a big field at Leopardstown.
