Forecasts

Future Prospect (4/9), Emily Love (10/3), Pampar Lady (10/1), Disco Dancer (12/1), Beauforts Storm (25/1), Only A Dollar (125/1)

EMILY LOVE was in the process of making an encouraging start over fences when a late faller at Killarney and this prolific winning hurdler can get off the mark in this sphere now. Willie Mullins' chasing debutante Future Prospect showed some fairly useful form over hurdles and rates a big threat though. Disco Dancer appeals as the pick of the rest.
