Forecasts

Minella Melody (9/4), Jeremys Flame (5/2), Ballyshannon Rose (7/2), Robinnia (13/2), Darrens Hope (8/1), Global Equity (12/1), Majestic Maid (150/1)

Verdict

MINELLA MELODY displayed a good deal of talent over hurdles and is very much the type to make a better chaser, so she's fancied to make a successful return to action at the likely expense of recent Naas scorer Jeremys Flame. Ballyshannon Rose also makes appeal.

  1. MINELLA MELODY (IRE)
