Forecasts

Jp's Express (10/3), Excuzio Joe (9/2), San Aer (11/2), Speckled Meadow (7/1), Flash Of Fire (7/1), Aquilla Star (8/1), Lady Mary Heath (8/1), Lady Arwen (14/1), Amplitude (14/1), Titanium (20/1), The Rock Factor (20/1), Flying Fortress (25/1), Earls (25/1), Sylkie (25/1), Cash Me (25/1)

JP'S EXPRESS ran a career best when third in a big-field handicap at the Curragh 2 weeks ago and a repeat of that should see him right on the premises again. San Aer and Earls are both on lengthy losing runs but lurk on a very dangerous mark as a result.
