Forecasts

Sheishybrid (3/1), Ratib (3/1), Britzka (3/1), Coolcullen (7/2), Druk (4/1), Bell Ex One (17/2), Brehon Star (12/1), Montepulciano (16/1)

SHEISHYBRID shaped quite well on her Sligo handicap debut last month and can build on that promise with Colin Keane once again doing the steering. Ratib shaped as if in need of the run on his Naas return and can leave that run well behind and provide the chief threat ahead of Britzka.
