Forecasts

Lantry Lady (2/1), Majestic Force (9/4), Fun Fun Fun (7/2), Karia Des Blaises (11/2), Iris Emery (20/1), Miss Pronunciation (28/1), Goodie Two Shoes (66/1), Hanoi Jane (150/1)

The low-mileage MAJESTIC FORCE made a very promising start to her chase career when narrowly denied at Cork last month and is taken to go one better now. Chase newcomers Lantry Lady, a stablemate of the selection, and Fun Fun Fun both tasted success at Grade 3 level over hurdles last season and may provide the main opposition.
