Forecasts

Cuta Des As (8/13), Silver Lark (3/1), Charity Barnum (13/2), Leahs Tricks (9/1), Im Here Now (12/1), Sunshine Girl (16/1), Forza Angelina (25/1), Noble Annys (33/1)

Verdict

Successful on her only start in points, CUTA DES AS makes plenty of appeal on paper representing a very powerful stable and she could be the way to go on bumper debut. Silver Lark, who shaped well first time up in a Thurles bumper 3 weeks ago, is feared most, ahead of Charity Barnum.
