Forecasts

Ifyoucatchmenow (9/4), Half The Odds (9/4), Cut The Mustard (7/2), Edene D'Arc (5/1), Denham Hana (8/1), Stucker Hill (20/1)

An interesting mares' contest. Edene D'Arc could go close granted a clear round, while Half The Odds could also get involved having blown off the cobwebs on her chase debut. However, Willie Mullins probably holds the key with Ifyoucatchmenow and CUT THE MUSTARD, and the latter is preferred.
