Forecasts

Rare Times (6/5), Cosmic Front (9/4), Jo's Secret (10/3), Churchfield Annie (6/1), Tanga Mugi (7/1), Clanokre Lass (22/1), That's It Girl (25/1), Saoirses Choice (80/1), Messonghi (150/1), Howaya Codge (200/1), Loughdoo (200/1)

Verdict

This could be a good opening for COSMIC FRONT on her debut for Willie Mullins. She reached a fairly useful level on the Flat in France and starts out over hurdles in an ordinary race. Jo's Secret and Rare Times are the clear picks of those with experience in this sphere.

  1. COSMIC FRONT
  2. JO'S SECRET (IRE)
  3. RARE TIMES (IRE)
