Forecasts

Liadawn (1/2), Shannon Bank (7/2), Whitewinewednesday (7/1), Walks The Talk (8/1), No More Silver (16/1), Beir Bua (18/1), Tina Yeats (22/1), Summer Dawn (28/1), Queenofqueenstreet (33/1), Bebinn Court (50/1), Campuna (100/1)

WALKS THE TALK did the job well when winning a maiden point by nine lengths in November and she is taken to make a successful start under Rules. Standing in her way is the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer Liadawn, who looks the part on paper and it will be an ominous sign for her rivals if she's strong in the betting. Shannon Bank and Whitewinewednesday are also shortlisted.
