Forecasts

Cathys Quest (3/1), Reddys Island (7/2), Movie King (4/1), Shantou Sisu (5/1), Steps Match (11/2), Definetly Darsi (7/1), Greenway Machine (17/2), Full Noise (14/1), Bearwithmenow (16/1), Rust To Riches (25/1)

CATHYS QUEST improved a chunk when running away with a big-field handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last month and, if able to perform to a similar level now switched to fences, a 12 lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop her. Steps Match will have a serious chance if he puts his best foot forward, while Movie King's best days are surely ahead of him and Shantou Sisu, who struck at Sligo recently, is also shortlisted.
