Forecasts
Juggernaut (6/5), Hypotenus (11/4), Irish Chorus (7/2), Ballybeen (10/1), O'Grady's Hill (20/1), Senor Diaz (33/1)
IRISH CHORUS hasn't been foot perfect with her jumping over fences so far but it didn't prevent her winning last time and there's more to come from her in this sphere if she can refine her jumping technique. Juggernaut is the one likely to give her most to do ahead of Hypotenus.
