Forecasts

How's Hannah (1/1), Zanoosh (7/4), Changeyourstars (8/1), Ill Raise A Glass (18/1), Carry On Heidi (20/1), Walks The Talk (20/1), Soldierstown (22/1), Apples Jane (50/1)

HOW'S HANNAH maintained her unbeaten record under Rules in impressive fashion at Punchestown and the 3 lb she receives from the thriving Zanoosh may prove decisive. Carry On Heidi looks best of the others.
