Forecasts

Jetara (2/1), Osprey (10/3), Royal Entry (8/1), Molto Amichi (17/2), Tribal Star (10/1), Bloom Vega (11/1), Liltia (14/1), Silent Guardian (16/1), Nelson Muntz (18/1), Another Night (20/1), Ragmans Corner (25/1), Luker's Tipple (33/1), Saol Gaelach (33/1), Joe Bob (40/1), Santa Princess (50/1), Shaool (50/1), Is She Now (66/1), Sundance Sioux (80/1), Gatsby Grey (80/1), Boola Times (150/1), Milverton (200/1), Katherine (250/1), You Played Well (250/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Jessica Harrington's JETARA, a smart hurdles winner, is fancied to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Molto Amichi is feared most on the back of his good recent Leopardstown second, with Royal Entry also well in the mix now lowered in grade. Osprey, Liltia and Tribal Star are others to consider.
