Forecasts

Just For Love (13/8), Rosalys (11/4), Ashdale Flyer (16/5), Cottesloe Sunshine (6/1), Two Become One (7/1), Smiling Bess (10/1), Dawn Escape (22/1), Wyoming Baby (25/1), Built By Rossies (33/1), Tell Me This (33/1), Dear Orla (50/1), Westernersunrise (50/1), Kipeen Lady (66/1), Birmingham Alabama (80/1), Nanny Betty (80/1), Jump The Burren (125/1), Milan Dollar Lady (150/1), Theoneiwant (150/1), Little Green Lady (150/1), Dontcall (150/1)

Willie Mullins' JUST FOR LOVE looked a good prospect when making a winning start in bumpers at Galway and can defy a lengthy absence to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Cottesloe Sunshine rates the pick of those with hurdling experience and is next on the list ahead of Rosalys who also has better days ahead of her and can have a say.
