Forecasts

Jazz De Cotte (6/5), Jackson Lamb (2/1), Midnight Moonshine (7/2), Harpers Frontier (11/1), Princess Georgie (40/1), Chisum (66/1), Townscupsixtythree (100/1)

JAZZ DE COTTE disappointed at Punchestown last time but had been shaping up well prior to that and is probably worth another chance. Decent bumper performer Jackson Lamb failed to fire on his hurdle debut last summer but still looks the obvious danger.
