Forecasts

Urabamba (8/13), Banntown Girl (3/1), Shamiyan (9/2), Derrinlaur Bill (7/1), Cosmology (8/1), Falcon Park (10/1), Pearland (11/1), Raphael (14/1), Getaway Abbey (16/1), Metersandmasks (18/1), Derridae (22/1), Larkfield Legacy (22/1), Ed The Red (66/1), Balthar Boy (150/1), Boola Belle (150/1)

Verdict

Those with previous hurdles experience don't set a tall standard and it may pay to side with one of the bumper winners in the shape of BANNTOWN GIRL. The booking of Townend catches the eye for her hurdling debut and a good showing is anticipated. Similar comments apply to Derrinlaur Bill who is feared most, ahead of Urabamba.

  1. BANNTOWN GIRL (IRE)
