Forecasts

Smiling Eliza (11/10), Irish Minister (5/1), Far Reach (11/2), Lever Du Soleil (7/1), Viscount Wilson (7/1), Mom Said (16/1), It's Paddys Day (25/1), Union Gap (25/1), Hannon (33/1), Amadeus (33/1), Santa Anna (66/1), William of Wykeham (66/1)

SMILING ELIZA can land the opener here following her solid form in two starts since making her hurdling debut at the beginning of the month. The Rock Of Gibraltar filly can see off the attentions of stablemate Viscount Wilson and Far Reach, while the Gavin Cromwell trained Mom Said is deserving of a market check on debut in a contest that won't take a great deal of winning.
