Forecasts

Krabat (3/1), Giant Haystacks (10/3), Moylussa (9/2), Miss Lia (13/2), Another Ocana (11/1), Aine's Lad (14/1), Farmix (16/1), Gamigin (20/1), Cullagh Pride (25/1), Spellacy's Cross (25/1), Doctor Churchill (28/1), Dolly Watkins (33/1), Dalmatic (40/1), Imperial Tune (40/1), Alright George (40/1), Cornmarket (40/1), Bruno From Mars (100/1)

Verdict

KRABAT hinted at a revival when a good fifth in a big-field Fairyhouse handicap last time out so looks the way to go here off a lenient mark. Giant Haystacks is feared most on the back of his recent Leopardstown victory, although Miss Lia, Dalmatic and Moylussa can also have a say in this open handicap.
