Forecasts

How's Hannah (8/13), Kilbarry Lizzy (11/8), Not Leaving Yet (10/1), Jack's Sister (25/1), Lakewood Rose (33/1), Ardeen Joy (33/1), Lady Aquarelle (100/1), Lucy Jordan (100/1), Naught But Nice (100/1), Black Rock (100/1), Toor Idaho (150/1), Thecouncillorswife (200/1), Aboras Mahler (200/1), Ballinaboola Hanna (200/1)

HOW'S HANNAH created a fine impression in making a successful Rules debut in a Punchestown bumper last month and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to follow up on this switch to hurdling. Kilbarry Lizzy found only one too good again at Leopardstown in December and can provide the main threat.
