Forecasts

Look To The West (10/11), Gaoth Chuil (9/4), Whatcouldhavebeen (11/2), Emily In Paris (10/1), Media Naranja (16/1), Phils Choice (25/1), She Is Electric (50/1), Karacole (80/1)

LOOK TO THE WEST shaped well on her chasing debut when third at Clonmel so this useful winning hurdler is fancied to get off the mark in this sphere now. Fencing newcomer Gaoth Chuil also has some useful form to her name over timber and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Whatcouldhavebeen and Emily In Paris.
