Forecasts

Good Girl Kathleen (11/8), Run For Mahler (2/1), Clarnagh Maid (4/1), Noble Name (11/2), Ill Raise A Glass (6/1), Duel Concept (25/1)

A fair bumper in which marginal preference is for RUN FOR MAHLER who can gain a deserved first victory after very good back-to-back second placings at Sligo and Tramore. Good Girl Kathleen wasn't at her best when seventh at Punchestown last time but still heads the list of dangers with Noble Name and Clarnagh Maid in the picture too.
