Forecasts

Shamiyan (5/1), Melliferous (11/2), Make The Switch (13/2), Hidden Land (7/1), Sicario (7/1), Na Caith Tobac (8/1), Time And Money (17/2), Anycity (9/1), Dazzling Darren (12/1), Baltic Song (12/1), Park Row (14/1), Crecerelle (18/1), Hurricane Sky (22/1), Universal Focus (25/1), Poetica (80/1)

Preference in this open-looking handicap is for SHAMIYAN, who shaped better than the bare result on his reappearance at Leopardstown and is entitled to come on for that run. It's been a while since Crecerelle was last seen in this sphere, but he's fit from jumps and is respected off a potentially handy mark. Sicario's latest effort suggested that a return to form is near and he is also considered.
