Forecasts

Shush (5/2), Condarcia (7/2), Beautiful Citi (4/1), Kingston Girl (11/2), Villa Moura (13/2), Holy Motivation (7/1), Gracious Gamble (8/1), Klassy Kay (12/1), She'samust (20/1), Vic's Little Miss (25/1), Gragara Tara (25/1), Lilymae (25/1), Lilly Mon May (33/1), Our Bonus (33/1), Get Home (33/1), Deberina (33/1), Our Nest Egg (40/1), Bridgets Cross (50/1), Balstar (50/1), Cowtown (50/1)

Daughter of Flemensfirth SHUSH is likely to be all the rage here on debut for the Willie Mullins stable under son Patrick who already has eight bumper wins to his name this season boasting a 44% strike rate. In what looks a decent renewal Jessica Harringtons Condarcia and potential improver Kingston Girl can grab a place while Gordon Elliotts Holy Motivation, Gracious Gamble and the Henry De Bromhead-trained Villa Moura are not easily dismissed.
