Forecasts

Dalileo (7/4), Natural Breeze (9/2), Arizona Flyer (11/2), Highstreetfashion (13/2), Autumn Crusade (7/1), Happie Days (8/1), Klickity Klopp (10/1), Glen Robin (16/1), Shean Glory (16/1), No Logic (20/1), Roscomroe (20/1), Bintheredonethat (22/1), Ringhill Lady (25/1), Doune Castle (50/1), Oscaraldo (50/1), Javoski (66/1)

An open-looking handicap which can go the way of top-weight DALILEO, who improved when finishing third on his handicap debut at Ballinrobe earlier this month and this step up in trip looks sure to suit. Natural Breeze is feared most if he's able to put a below-par effort behind him, ahead of Shean Glory and Highstreetfashion.
