Forecasts

Kate Appleby Shoes (11/8), Ask Susan (9/2), Freeway Space (5/1), The Green Lady (6/1), Whistle Dixie (8/1), West Bridge (10/1), Larkfield Lass (66/1)

Verdict

Kate Appleby Shoes holds The Green Lady and West Bridge on hurdling form and should go well on her debut over fences. However, this looks a good opportunity for WHISTLE DIXIE to get her career back on track. She was a useful hurdler and looked to have every chance of making a winning start over fences when leading and falling four fences from home at Fairyhouse over a year ago. She is likely to be straight enough to do herself justice after her lay-off.
  1. Whistle Dixie
  2. Kate Appleby Shoes
  3. West Bridge
