Forecasts

Canal End (11/2), Fine Margin (6/1), Shanbally Kid (15/2), Music Of Tara (15/2), Park Of Kings (8/1), Panda Boy (10/1), Will Do (10/1), Nine Graces (10/1), Gaoth Chuil (11/1), Black Bamboo (11/1), Search For Glory (14/1), Ishan (20/1), Yeats Star (22/1), Maxxum (28/1), Sequestered (33/1), Ballybawn Belter (33/1), Starzov (33/1), Extrapolation (33/1), Ailie Rose (33/1), The Very Man (40/1), Joyeux Machin (50/1), Castle Field Boy (66/1), Mollys Glory (66/1), Max Flamingo (80/1)

Lots with chances. CANAL END looks to have a fair bit more to offer over staying trips so Peter Fahey's unexposed sort edges the vote. Fine Margin is expected to build on a promising Haydock debut second for Willie Mullins and is next on the list, although a good case can also be made for the likes of Gaoth Chuil, Nine Graces, Will Do, Panda Boy and Park of Kings in this ultra-competitive handicap.
