Forecasts

Chica Linda (10/3), Get Set Jet (9/2), Florida Taiga (9/2), Medici Pass (11/2), Jazz Forever (7/1), Beauparc (8/1), Jeaniemacaroney (12/1), Rough And Tough (12/1), Believe Me Now (12/1), Eloxi (22/1), Where R U Now Bob (33/1), Just Another Eagle (40/1), Nancy Angel (125/1)

FLORIDA TAIGA produced her best effort so far sporting first-time blinkers after 3 months off when third at Navan last Saturday and, provided she copes with this quick turnaround, Dermot Weld's filly is fancied to get off the mark with a tongue tie added. The main threat may emerge from Jeaniemacaroney, who looks just the type to do better in handicaps, with recent winner Chica Linda rounding off the shortlist.
