Forecasts

Jazzy Matty (4/7), Jackpot De Choisel (7/2), Komedy Kicks (15/2), By Your Side (9/1), The Lovely Man (16/1), Uberrima Fides (20/1), Chemdawg (20/1), Paradise Lost (20/1), Brown Eagle (33/1), Eighty Eight (40/1), Melnik (40/1), Luminous Light (50/1), Wendell's Lass (50/1), Bayou Belle (125/1), Portarlington (125/1), Joven De Corazon (150/1), Pralognan (150/1)

JAZZY MATTY made a promising start for new trainer Gordon Elliott when second at Navan and is taken to go one better with improvement on the cards. The chief threat may come from Komedy Kicks, who showed promise when fifth at Punchestown last month and should have more to offer. The selection's stablemate By Your Side may prove best of the rest.
