Forecasts

Good Girl Kathleen (5/4), Champagne Kid (3/1), Cocovic (3/1), Burren View (12/1), Soldiers World (14/1), Rony Has (16/1), Themanintheanorak (28/1), Hilltop Duchess (33/1), Coillte M C G (50/1), Elle Klassycco (300/1)

Some interesting types on show here with GOOD GIRL KATHLEEN, who showed plenty in bumpers, taken to make a winning start now moving up in trip for this hurdles debut. Champagne Kid would be a huge player if repducing the form of his solid placed efforts in maidens at Punchestown and Leopardstown earlier this year. Rony Has went close on his sole bumper start for Jamie Snowden and needs considering, while point winner Hilltop Duchess is very much one to note in the betting.
