Forecasts

No Big Deal (10/11), She's On Line (7/1), Hickeys Hill (7/1), Finnicky Filly (9/1), Sheriffhill (10/1), Boston Bongo (12/1), Go Gill Go (14/1), Stonecarthy (16/1), Flashthelights (16/1), Wayside Lady (28/1), Howayahoney (28/1), East Cork Flyer (50/1), Jessie's Dreamgirl (100/1)

NO BIG DEAL is running consistently well across both codes and makes plenty of appeal in a weak-looking race. Recent Fairyhouse winner Hickeys Hill is considered the main threat, while Finnicky Filly has place claims if casting aside a poor effort at Tipperary.
