Forecasts

Jerk (11/4), Lovely Reaction (3/1), Thedancingfarrier (4/1), Rochestown (9/2), He's Home Again (6/1), Danny The Fence (8/1), Duffys Getaway (12/1), Cher Why Not (12/1), Whatucallher (28/1)

LOVELY REACTION was quite impressive at Leopardstown last time and the longer trip could bring more out of her, so she's to fellow last-time-out winner Jerk, who is also going the right way. Thedancingfarrier can't be ruled out.
