Forecasts

Largy Debut (9/4), Mighty Potter (5/2), Grangee (10/3), Three Stripe Life (4/1), Farout (20/1), Arctic Warrior (40/1)

This is much tougher than the Fairyhouse maiden in which GRANGEE made a winning hurdles debut, but she couldn't have been more impressive and this mare possesses plenty of potential. She is taken to follow in the footsteps of stablemate Appreciate It, who landed this race in 2020. Largy Debut looked good at Cork and is feared greatly, while Mighty Potter could be the pick of Gordon Elliott's duo.
