Forecasts

Doyen Ta Win (2/1), Jiving Jerry (9/4), Missiee (11/2), Bythesametoken (6/1), Braganza (8/1), Annexation (11/1), Britzka (28/1)

If the ground continues to dry out the claims of JIVING JERRY will be enhanced and he is worth chancing. It's admittedly been a while since he last got his head in front but his current mark is a fair one and he arrives here on the back of creditable efforts at Navan and Fairyhouse. Missiee regained the winning thread at Limerick last time and she is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Doyen Ta Win.
