Forecasts

Jiving Jerry (3/1), Shakeytry (10/3), Djasek (4/1), Wait Here (17/2), Bigz Belief (9/1), Youngnedofthehill (11/1), Spruced Up (12/1), Youcannotbeserious (12/1), Royal Rhythm (16/1), Morning Skye (16/1), Our Roxane (33/1), Morga (40/1), Leahman (50/1), Getaway Katie (100/1)

SHAKEYTRY would have been bang there but for a mistake at the last at Naas last time and is taken to notch a second success of the campaign. Jiving Jerry was in top form when last seen in the autumn and will be a threat if resuming in similar form. Djasek has posted creditable in-frame efforts on his last 2 starts and is also on the shortlist.
