Forecasts

Clody Diamond (13/8), Something Fabulous (4/1), Talladega (11/2), Star Cave (6/1), Forceonmyown (13/2), Lakewood Rose (13/2), Queen Of The Gales (10/1), Ellens Pride (18/1), Pacy Macie (28/1), Burning Like Fire (33/1), Thornbury Queen (100/1), Nancy Wheeler (150/1), Where Eagles Fly (200/1)

CLODY DIAMOND was better than the result on her course chase debut in June and Paul Nolan's mare may prove the answer now back hurdling. Lakewood Rose will be a threat if back to the form she showed when third in a Punchestown handicap at the start of the summer. Something Fabulous may build on her recent Tramore hurdle debut third and is next on the list.
