Forecasts

Slowmotion (4/6), Monbeg Rose (11/2), Goulane Davina (13/2), Elusive Ivy (10/1), A Hardy Nailer (10/1), Floral Fantasy (14/1), Dorkas (25/1), Blazing West (33/1)

Monbeg Rose is possibly the pick on chase form but a second chance is given to SLOWMOTION who was an early casualty when well-backed at Wexford in November. She's run well over hurdles since and should make amends now. Dorkas is an interesting contender on first start for new trainer while Floral Fantasy is entitled to be competitive if taking to this jumping test, a comment that also applies to Goulane Davina. 1. Slowmotion 2. Monbeg Rose 3. Dorkas
