Forecasts

Camino Rock (7/4), Gentle And Kind (15/8), Ginnets Girl (2/1), Mighty Mo Missouri (5/2), Meritorious (7/1), Silent Dawn (25/1), Ogee (28/1), Hurricane Honey (33/1), Rule Seventeen (33/1), Mermaids Cave (40/1), Sonny Fella (50/1), Monarch Of All (80/1), Quarry Lady (100/1), Ladyeze Man (125/1), Bama Breeze (125/1)

GENTLE AND KIND made an encouraging, if rather belated, hurdling debut over C&D last month and is worth a chance to build on that promise with Rachael Blackmore taking over in the saddle this time. Mighty Mo Missouri was well held in a Galway Flat handicap last week but her juvenile hurdle form last season puts her at the forefront of calculations here. Camino Rock ran poorly at Roscommon last time but is unlikely to be far away if bouncing back to his best.
