Forecasts

Tay Lane (11/4), Nellie Pledge (3/1), Just Janice (4/1), Kilganer Queen (7/1), Good To Flow (8/1), Freedom Statue (14/1), Pursecco (14/1), Verona Opera (16/1)

Just eight runners in the line up, but a tricky race to assess nevertheless. There must surely be better to come from Tay Lane given the manner of her demolition job at Tipperary on her final start for Niall Madden, whilst Kilganer Queen would have held much more appealing claims without a recent below par showing at Listowel on her CV. Just Janice is thoroughly likeable, but perhaps just a fraction too high in the weights, so a real chance is taken on the eight race maiden and bottom weighted mare GOOD TO FLOW. She looks capable of finding a winning opportunity over hurdles sooner rather than later, and the forecast testing conditions might just prove to be a real leveller for her.
