Forecasts

Provocateuse (7/2), Frenetic (5/1), Jungle Jane (5/1), That's Mad (13/2), White Lavender (8/1), Strong Johnson (10/1), Dandy Spirit (12/1), My Laureate (12/1), Sister Rosetta (14/1), Shabaaby (18/1), Chocquinto (22/1), Hathiq (66/1)

A few with chances. STRONG JOHNSON looks favourably weighted back in handicap company after posting a good sixth in listed grade at the Curragh last week so gets the verdict at the chief expense of That's Mad, who can boast a C&D win and arrives firmly on the up. Bellewstown-second Jungle Jane is another who seems sure to be on the premises in a competitive handicap.
