Forecasts

Sicario (9/4), Kendancer (11/4), Gallic Boy (3/1), Drummer (10/3), Stoneyford Boy (5/1), Tom McGreevy (10/1), Malbas (11/1), Euroclydon (12/1), Ed The Red (14/1), Wojood (16/1), Kabin Fever Too (25/1), Right Turn Clyde (50/1), Olord (66/1), Drop The Harrow (80/1), Sin Sceal Eile (150/1), Miss Ohio (200/1), I'm No Stranger (300/1)

KENDANCER was placed in stronger races last season and shaped as if better for the run reappearing from 9 months off when fourth at Bellewstown last time, so he's fancied to capitalise on what appears to be an ideal chance to open his account. Well-bred newcomer Kabin Fever Too could give him plenty to think about, while Gallic Boy should play a hand if taking another step forward.
