Forecasts

Camilla Gherardini (9/2), Static Charge (9/2), In The Giving (13/2), Hilltop's Bear (13/2), Ooh La Belle (7/1), Duke Of Leggagh (8/1), Calgary Mounty (10/1), Slick Chick (10/1), Palace Gardens (12/1), Water Mint (22/1)

Verdict

With the Jessica Harrington team in such good form it looks worth taking a chance that SLICK CHICK finds a bit of improvement now handicapping in first-time headgear. Camilla Gherardini made a solid start to her handicap career when fourth at the Curragh recently and rates an obvious danger, while the booking of Colin Keane for James McAuley's Hilltop's Bear catches the eye so he's also on the shortlist.

  1. SLICK CHICK (IRE)
  2. CAMILLA GHERARDINI (IRE)
  3. HILLTOP'S BEAR (IRE)
