Forecasts

How's Hannah (1/2), Torpille Dagrostis (13/8), Lady Cosmo (25/1), The Jam Lady (33/1), Lucy Jordan (80/1), Forever And A Day (150/1), Ballinaboola Hanna (150/1)

Verdict

HOW'S HANNAH looked an above-average prospect when winning her bumper easily at this course last month and can make a successful hurdling debut. The biggest threat looks to be Torpille Dagrostis, who failed to progress in bumpers but shaped promisingly on her hurdles bow when second here 23 days ago.

  1. HOW'S HANNAH (IRE)
  2. TORPILLE DAGROSTIS (FR)
  3. LADY COSMO (IRE)
