Forecasts

Dame Rapide (4/7), Zoomtime (4/1), Leahs Tricks (9/1), C'est Rien (10/1), Castle Ruby (11/1), Letters To Juliet (22/1), Nurse Garvey (25/1), Lackaneen Mag (66/1), Diverse Beauty (66/1), Cedar Wood (100/1), Frisco Babe (150/1), Maddies Lough (250/1)

DAME RAPIDE sets a clear standard, so this looks a good opportunity for her to open her account as a hurdler. Zoomtime and Castle Ruby can battle it out for minor honours.
