Forecasts

Beir Bua (15/8), Salsinha (9/4), Joe Cool (5/2), Eagle Fang (7/2), Fraher Field (13/2), Gaoth Chuil (7/1), The Banger Doyle (14/1), Mart Lane (20/1), Kimy (40/1), Golden Fascination (50/1), Kaleo Ametsa (66/1), Lauro's Legend (80/1), Must Meet Cecil (80/1), Chain Of Destiny (150/1), Faerie Tales (200/1), Certamen (250/1), Donnrua Dream (300/1), Wonderwalk (300/1)

SALSINHA arrives with bumper and maiden hurdle wins to her name and gets the vote to make a successful transition to the Flat. Joe Cool and Eagle Fang, both of whom have placed efforts to their credit in this discipline, rate the main dangers, while Beir Bua is another interesting recruit from the National Hunt sphere.
