Forecasts

Hostile Hotelier (5/2), Lacila Blue (11/4), Show No Fear (3/1), Celestial Fashion (6/1), Lisloran (13/2)

SHOW NO FEAR could be thrown in on the pick of his Irish form and seemed to be on the way back at Newcastle last week, so gets the nod over Lacila Blue, who made a sound return in maiden company last month. Lisloran is also interesting from his lower hurdles mark.
