Forecasts

Double Talkin Jive (6/5), Franno (5/2), Sequoiaspirit (13/2), Eastern Tornado (8/1), Matilda With Me (9/1), Odd Venture (11/1), Pikaia (12/1), Stellify (14/1), Ally Cay (14/1), Grey Serge (14/1), Maunganui (16/1), Aubretia (16/1), Happy Company (40/1), Walnut Beach (40/1), Nusra (50/1), Unanswered (50/1), Touch Of Gold (50/1), Lady Camelot (66/1)

DOUBLE TALKIN JIVE has been off for a long time but looks an interesting runner starting out for Willie Mullins and the booking of Colin Keane suggests a big run is expected. Eastern Tornado and Franno head the dangers.
