Forecasts

The Lord Maid (6/4), Rialannah (9/4), Stowaway Jess (7/2), Floating Line (4/1), Chooch (7/1), Queen Antoinette (8/1), Mistral Blue (14/1), Georgia's Cross (25/1), Romilee (25/1), An Cailin Ciuin (80/1), Jewel Eyed Judy (150/1), Sholokhova (150/1), Kilberry (200/1), Bateau Bay (200/1)

THE LORD MAID created a good impression when winning easily on her hurdling debut at Clonmel in February and, with more to come back up in trip for her new yard, she's fancied to defy a penalty. Floating Line and Rialannah head the dangers in that order.
