Forecasts

Made For Minds (11/4), Fox Fearless (9/2), Breffni Girl (11/2), Black Hawk Eagle (7/1), Pretty Little Liar (15/2), Freepark (10/1), Dame Rapide (11/1), Sicario (11/1), Fallen Forest (12/1), Storm Steps (12/1), Clueless Hill (14/1), Free Royal (20/1), Queen Of Jazz (22/1), Spirituoso (25/1), Kasansay (25/1), Numidia (28/1), Moving (33/1), Rustler (33/1), Katzoff (40/1)

PRETTY LITTLE LIAR caught the eye when a running-on fourth at Bellewstown and is fancied to resume winning ways eased 1 lb here. Fox Fearless is next on the list on the back of his recent win at the same track, with Made For Minds appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
