Forecasts

Tell Nobody Nothin (2/1), Hardy Diamond (11/2), The Great Unknown (13/2), Due Course (8/1), Killinure Lass (9/1), Noble Talent (11/1), Ballycashin (14/1), Brucejack (16/1), Driscolls Hill (20/1), Individualiste (22/1), Be Fierce (25/1), Noble Blue (25/1), Cosmo Renfro (33/1), Poets Cottage (50/1), Battle Roar (66/1), Muskerry Rock (100/1)

Verdict

HARDY DIAMOND already looks a better chaser than hurdler and in the right hands to progress, she makes the most appeal of these. The Great Unknown also has more to come, while unexposed 4-t-o Tell Nobody Nothin also demands consideration on debut over fences.
