Forecasts

Huit Reflets (4/1), Maggie Walsh (6/1), Hard Target (6/1), Iurkash (13/2), Depeche Mo (13/2), Cracklinrose (13/2), Wendell's Lass (12/1), Cruisin Susan (16/1), Flyaway Maggie (16/1), Fortfield Lady (18/1), Red Striker (18/1), Vintage Gold (22/1), Grinn (25/1), Shes My Getaway (80/1)

DEPECHE MO left previous efforts behind when runner-up in a handicap hurdle at Wexford a fortnight ago and, with few miles on the clock, he's worth backing to improve further and go one better. Huit Reflets and Hard Target are the main dangers.
