Forecasts

Mighty Meggsie (7/4), Sargent Lightfoot (15/2), Tom McGreevy (15/2), Return To Base (17/2), Ena Baie (9/1), Ramondo Dnzeo (9/1), Grangeclare Native (9/1), Trendy Lady (10/1), Peckham Springs (12/1), Yulong Voice (25/1), Another Affair (150/1)

MIGHTY MEGGSIE cemented a very positive start to her chasing career when second again at Tipperary and a repeat of that effort may well suffice. Return To Base is unexposed and now goes over fences for her top yard, with Ena Baie another to consider.
