Forecasts

Boogie Inthejungle (11/8), Made U Blush (7/4), Barbizon (8/1), Fixation (8/1), Dawn Coming (18/1), Pretty Omagh Girl (22/1), Plaza Athenee (22/1), She's A Nation (25/1), Ithacan Queen (28/1), Tickling (66/1), Among The Pines (80/1), Royal Belief (80/1), Who's Listening (150/1), Boomtown Lad (200/1)

BOOGIE INTHEJUNGLE gets the vote to build on her encouraging debut effort at Navan last autumn. Made U Blush is the chief form threat, while the fact John Joseph Murphy has booked Colin Keane and Shane Foley for his newcomers Plaza Athenee and Barbizon suggests they might be expected to show up well on debut.
