Forecasts

Mise Raftaire (9/2), Dancing Jeremy (5/1), Rock Of Tuskar (13/2), Junior Bee (8/1), Clonmoyle (10/1), Hollywood West (10/1), Missiee (12/1), Kingston Kid (14/1), Rebellious Gale (14/1), Bennystiara (16/1), Danegeld (18/1), Lady Camelot (20/1), Fit To Be Tied (22/1), Crack On Corrie (25/1), Rebelle Chaud (25/1), Huit Reflets (28/1), Garcon Doux (33/1), Howaya Aoife (33/1), Chosen Hour (50/1), Carbon King (66/1), Ximyerg (100/1)

MISE RAFTAIRE took a step forward on his second start in handicap company at Navan and he gets the nod in an open-looking race. Dancing Jeremy has won two of his last three starts and should remain competitive, despite going up 9 lb for his latest success, while Junior Bee still has low mileage and needs considering. Garcon Doux is one to note in the betting and he completes the shortlist.
