Forecasts

Kalanisi Star (15/8), Favori De Champdou (5/2), Letsbeclearaboutit (4/1), Jungle Prose (5/1), Harry Des Ongrais (7/1), Sainte Dona (12/1), Female Approach (100/1)

JUNGLE PROSE arrives firmly on the up and is strongly fancied to complete a five-timer on the back of his latest impressive Navan success. Gowran debut winner Kalanisi Star has more to offer at this longer trip and is next on the list, with Letsbeclearaboutit highly respected too.
