Forecasts

Glens Of Antrim (4/11), Steak And Onions (15/2), Beth Horan (10/1), Downtown Queen (12/1), Emily Roebling (14/1), Kilbarry Chianti (16/1), Delightfantastic (28/1), Not May (40/1), Our Miss Power (50/1), Windsor Diamond (50/1), Rhyme'n Rhythm (50/1), Notabotherhi (66/1), Ellen T (100/1), Cathys Quest (100/1), One For Lucy (125/1), Lady Rita (200/1), Island Glory (200/1), Agirlcalledchloe (250/1), Getaway Shivvie (250/1), Twoplustwo Equals (250/1)

This represents a golden opportunity for GLENS OF ANTRIM to deservedly open her account over hurdles. She acquitted herself well in graded company as a novice last season and shaped better than the bare result on her reappearance in a Fairyhouse handicap. Assuming that her stablemate Allegorie De Vassy doesn't get a run, Delightfantastic and Downtown Queen may fill the places.
