Forecasts

Mummy Derry (8/13), Tequila Talkin' (7/2), Sophia Rose (6/1), West End Victory (7/1), Hillhead Runner (8/1), Zanoosh (10/1), Watching The Clock (22/1), Youre A Derry Girl (33/1), Urban Lee (33/1), Absolute Bliss (50/1), October Hill (66/1), Willuhaveamineral (66/1), Rutland Rose (66/1), An Capall Liath (80/1), Chasing Crowns (100/1), Fervida (100/1), Doyen Lady (150/1)

MUMMY DERRY showed fairly useful winning form in bumpers and is worth another chance to add to that over hurdles having fluffed her lines at Sandown in February. Both Tequila Talkin' and Hillhead Runner have better days ahead of them and can chase home Willie Mullins' promising mare in that order.
