Forecasts

Amazing Emma (3/1), Curraheen Princess (7/2), Jazzy Dancer (7/2), Speedacus (8/1), Mogwli (17/2), Fine Distraction (12/1), Forca Brasil (14/1), Sosallycanwait (16/1), Daintree (22/1), Eriskay (22/1), Kuwait Direction (80/1)

JAZZY DANCER took a massive step forward in first-time blinkers when opening his account at Naas and can defy a 10 lb hike in the weights here at the chief expense of in-form Curraheen Princess. Amazing Emma is another who is weighted to have a big say if she can shrug off a lesser showing at Bellewstown in a first-time hood.
