Forecasts

Cerca Trova (11/4), Leaders Questions (6/1), Presenting Mahler (6/1), The Living Beauty (7/1), Micras (8/1), Isabella Liberty (8/1), Balofilo (9/1), Hello Sweetie (10/1), Carole Rose (14/1)

Verdict

Cerca Trova made a good return last month over timber and gets into this contest off an appealing mark assuming she's ready to build on that comeback effort. Isabella Liberty has threatened in this sphere before and may well do so again but she is possibly going to be vulnerable conceding weight in all directions. Hello Sweetie is in calmer waters after a Listed contest at Thurles last time but the vote goes to LEADERS QUESTIONS, who was second over C&D in December and ran another sound race in defeat at Thurles last month. She may be capable of getting off the mark under rules here.
