Forecasts

Hey Sunshine (11/8), Tareze (5/2), Cottesloe Sunshine (15/2), Femme Magnifique (11/1), Cool Park (12/1), Pastorale (14/1), Disco Dancer (16/1), Whimsy (20/1), The Great Nudie (22/1), Rockstown Girl (25/1), Reina Del Mar (40/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand and his improving mare HEY SUNSHINE is taken to build on her Downpatrick handicap success and go 3-3 over hurdles. Stablemate Cool Park also has better days ahead of her and could emerge as the main danger with Reina del Mar, Pastorale, Disco Dancer and The Great Nudie all in the mix too in this intriguing Listed event.

  1. HEY SUNSHINE (IRE)
  2. COOL PARK (IRE)
  3. REINA DEL MAR (IRE)
