Forecasts

Verdict

Those with previous hurdles experience don't set a tall standard and it may pay to take a chance on MOTE PARK. She offered something on the first of her 2 starts in bumpers during the second half of last year and it would come as no surprise to see her make an impact now her attentions switch to hurdling. Gaye Winnie and Sea Aster head the dangers, with Spice Diva also worth a second look.

  1. MOTE PARK (IRE)
  2. GAYE WINNIE (IRE)
  3. SEA ASTER (IRE)
