Forecasts

Queenofthelodge (5/1), Spick And Span (5/1), Smiling Bess (5/1), Flidais (11/2), Jeaniemacaroney (11/2), Colleen Danu (6/1), Leah's Contessa (8/1), Cathryns Ruby (16/1), Chosen Shant (18/1), Inchiquin Star (25/1), Abel Mabel (50/1)

COLLEEN DANU should appreciate returning to this track where she's shown her best form and is fancied to resume winning ways after a break. Flidais looks interesting off a career-low hurdles mark, especially if the market speaks in her favour, while Jeaniemacaroney could be worth another chance returning to hurdles, with the longer trip possibly bringing about some improvement.
