Forecasts

Torpille Dagrostis (4/5), Alliteration (3/1), Courtmac Gesture (15/2), Walking Saint (17/2), Fly Away Home (14/1), Miss Georgina (25/1), The Jam Lady (33/1), Orinoco Walk (200/1)

TORPILLE DAGROSTIS has started her hurdle career with a couple of good runner-up efforts at Punchestown and this looks a good chance for her to go one better. The step up in trip will suit Alliteration and she's second choice ahead of Fly Away Home.
