Forecasts

Eabha Grace (5/6), Churchtown Ruby (2/1), Scarlet Witch (6/1), Sunshine Girl (14/1), Saratoga Lass (18/1), Kilbarry Merlot (28/1), Lareine's Katie (33/1), Kernan Star (66/1), Aeroplane Peggy (250/1), Ard Monarch (250/1), Katie Parnell (400/1)

Verdict

Those with form don't set the bar all that high, so EABHA GRACE, who is out of a bumper winner and represents a top stable, is fancied to make a winning start. Churchtown Ruby outran big odds on her hurdling debut last month, so she's of interest back in this sphere, while Scarlet Watch should get involved if she can take another step forward.
