Forecasts

Savante (11/4), Sansrisk (7/2), Mystical Goddess (7/2), Royal Hollow (4/1), Speculatrix (4/1), Amanha (14/1), Yokkell (14/1), Stormalong (18/1), Miss Dishy (20/1)

Bumper winner SAVANTE made an emphatic start to her hurdling career at Tramore recently and can find enough improvement to make an immediate breakthrough at Grade 3 level. Royal Hollow sets the standard and Speculatrix can get involved if she's recovered from a nasty fall (when looking set to win) on hurdling debut.
