Forecasts

Jersey Des Brosses (11/5), Addragoole (9/4), Withabitofluk (7/2), Jhentong Enki (9/2), Florance (16/1), Coup D'etat (25/1), Raby Mere (50/1), Alkaid (66/1)

Probably a warm bumper with ADDRAGOOLE the pick after his fine debut in a Down Royal maiden hurdle 5 weeks ago. Jersey des Brosses shaped promisingly in a Fairyhouse bumper in February when well backed and should improve. Withabitofluk and Jhentong Enki are also considered.
