Forecasts

Hurricane Georgie (10/11), Bella Bliss (7/2), Good As Hell (9/2), Bonnie Kellie (6/1), Mousey Brown (10/1), Pebble Bleu (16/1)

Not the easiest race to assess but Gordon Elliott's HURRICANE GEORGE is taken to bounce back in these calmer waters and edge out Good As Hell who can build on her recent Wexford effort. Bonnie Kellie and Bella Bliss can fight it out for minor honours.
