Forecasts

Got Glory (4/7), The Great Unknown (11/2), Kimy (6/1), Mi Lucky Cailin (7/1), Magic Dawn (7/1), Lucy Wang (7/1), Garde La Peche (16/1), Duchamps Art (28/1), Kimjoy (125/1), Spanish Maid (125/1), Run For Cover (150/1), Clonclough Lady (150/1), Desperado Genie (200/1), Miss Direct (200/1), Pebble To A Pearl (200/1), We Will Rock You (200/1), Rock On Dolly (200/1), Thebeautifulgame (200/1), Raynbo (200/1), Dance Floor Drama (200/1)

A winner of her sole start on the Flat in France, GOT GLORY never figured faced with a stiff task in Grade 1 company on hurdles debut 12 months ago but she's highly likely capable of better for her top stable and could be the way to go switched to calmer waters. Magic Dawn and Lucy Wang head up the dangers with Garde La Peche and The Great Unknown others open to improvement.
