Forecasts

Aleish Lass (5/2), Shiroccosmagicgem (4/1), Carrig Wells (5/1), Dul Ar Aghaidh (5/1), Native Song (5/1), Some Joy (14/1), Its Lady Kingston (16/1), River Grainey (33/1), Taketwotoone (33/1), Glenetty (40/1), Design Flaw (50/1)

Unlikely to prove strong hunter chase form with NATIVE SONG taken to make a winning chase debut having landed both completed starts in points. Its Lady Kingston is another to consider, while Carrig Wells will attempt to put her experience in this sphere to good use.
