Forecasts

Misty Bloom (4/1), Wilde Spirit (5/1), Didonato (6/1), Coillte Eile (6/1), Bourbon Beauty (6/1), Aimee De Sivola (13/2), Printing Dollars (7/1), Easter Gold (9/1), Winter Getaway (10/1), Fally Jem (25/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on WINTER GETAWAY as she is well treated if a return to hurdles sparks her back to life. Didonato's opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous but she likely has more to offer now moving up to 3m. Wilde Spirit should also have a part to play.

  3. WILDE SPIRIT (IRE)
