Forecasts

Happy Dreams (18/5), Great Island (6/1), Lyla Garrity (7/1), Shotgun Jack (15/2), Kalanisi Dubh (15/2), Another Ocana (8/1), Cosmic Rock (17/2), Steelers Appeal (17/2), Added Bonus (12/1), Winter Carnival (14/1), Kilashee (14/1), My Friend The Wind (14/1), The Niffler (16/1), Vintage Gold (25/1), Mason Lady (66/1), The Vegas Raider (66/1)

Verdict

It could be worth siding with KALANISI DUBH, who stepped up on her reappearance effort when sixth in a 15-runner Sligo handicap and this step back up in trip looks a potentially good move. Shotgun Jack will likely prove popular following his much-improved display at Galway where he routed the opposition. He's gone up 14 lb and drops back in trip here but the 5-y-o has to be feared all the same. Great Island is another to consider, while Mason Lady is a likely improver now handicapping.

  1. KALANISI DUBH (IRE)
  2. SHOTGUN JACK (IRE)
  3. GREAT ISLAND (IRE)
