Forecasts

Ma Bess (11/10), Blue Mosque (5/2), Miss Dishy (11/4), Clever Minded (5/1), Vadsa Queen (15/2), Paudie's Wings (14/1), Biddynora (22/1), The Sugarhill Lady (25/1), Broomfield Gale (50/1), Kathy Choice (50/1), Chapter Thirty (66/1), Sallap (100/1), Spricklestown (125/1), Kitty Ooru (200/1), Midnight Eagle (200/1), Restless Lady (200/1)

BLUE MOSQUE got on top close home when making a winning start to her career in a Naas bumper and, with with the strong possibility of better to come from this 4-y-o now tackling hurdles, she gets the nod. Miss Dishy is the pick of those with experience in this sphere and she is clear second choice ahead of Ma Bess and Vadsa Queen.
