Forecasts

Mighty Jeremy (15/8), Costanuci (10/3), Master Breffni (4/1), Tango Theatre (8/1), Rathnaleen Glory (12/1), Just Hannah (12/1), Close Enough (14/1), Cafe Del Mar (16/1), Kilmurry Jj (20/1), Mrs Watson (20/1), Ballygriffin Girl (25/1), Unheralded (28/1), Katie Dalie (28/1), Spring Street (40/1), Catrionas Darling (50/1), Midnight Fortune (125/1)

MIGHTY JEREMY landed a bit of a gamble when an impressive winner at Clonmel 10 days ago and this low mileage 9-y-o seems sure to go well again. The unexposed Costanuci just lost out in a 3-way photo at Punchestown last time and is feared most ahead of potential improvers Kilmurry Jj and Just Hannah.
