Forecasts

Fun Fun Fun (4/7), Paggane (4/1), El Elefante (13/2), Space Voyage (10/1), Coco Mademoiselle (14/1), Autumn Return (22/1)

FUN FUN FUN was an impressive winner of a Grade 3 at Limerick last month and should prove hard to beat with only a 2 lb penalty. Coco Mademoiselle was running a big race before falling at Cheltenham last week and may emerge as the biggest threat.
