Forecasts

Hors Piste (8/13), Copper Nation (10/3), Beth Horan (15/2), Steak And Onions (12/1), Outback Flyer (12/1), Lizrona (14/1), Fons Vivus (14/1), Martha Divine (16/1), Layla's Daffodil (16/1), Moon Eagle (25/1), Little Token (40/1), Always Enchanting (50/1), Shillwantfornotin (66/1), Fraternity (100/1), Madam Belle (125/1), Callista Lady (150/1), Carrigeen Konini (250/1), Lonesome Day (250/1), Kilbarry Merlot (250/1), Karetta Davis (300/1), Biddys Star (300/1)

HORSE PISTE was well clear of the remainder when a narrow second on her Irish debut and is firmly expected to go one better with improvement on the cards. Bumper winner Copper Nation also found one too good switched to hurdling last time, so she could pose the main threat, acknowledging both Lizrona and Moon Eagle could also yet progress.
