Forecasts

Leac An Scail Lady (7/4), Valentina Lady (2/1), Esthers Marvel (4/1), Sempre Presto (13/2), Queen Kulina (12/1), Decadio Lady (16/1), Stellar Symphony (28/1), Honey I'm Good (33/1), Miss Victrix (33/1), Go Gill Go (50/1), Winter Castle (125/1), Poetica (200/1), Mahlers Glory (200/1), Mollyo (200/1)

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, VALENTINA LADY shaped with promise over hurdles prior to unseating at Naas in November. Representing an in-form stable on return, she gets the nod to come out on top. Leac An Scail Lady and Sempre Presto are others to consider.
