Forecasts

Coole Cherry (1/1), Hey Whatever (11/4), She Can Do It (13/2), Gina Moon (10/1), Cornamona Park (16/1), Give Her Hollie (18/1), Bishbashbosh (25/1), Whitewinewednesday (28/1), Kilrush Lady (33/1), Spread The Faith (66/1), Legacy Juno (80/1), Hanara Rovan (125/1), Kathleen Gold (125/1), Mutha (150/1), Equine Angel (200/1)

This looks between HEY WHATEVER and Coole Cherry, with preference for the former who was in the process of running a big race when coming down at the last at Cork. She will take plenty of stopping granted a clear round. Coole Cherry arguably possess the greater potential of the two and while she is entitled to come on for the run following a 10-month absence, she is greatly respected. The selection's stablemate Gina Moon and hurdles debutante She Can Do It can scrap it out for minor honours.
