Forecasts

Round The Buoy (4/1), Shean Glory (9/2), Herculaneum (6/1), Iridescent (13/2), Something Sweet (7/1), Zalika (11/1), Shanylah (12/1), Ocean Legacy (12/1), Royal Finesse (20/1), Eileens Boy (20/1), Steelers Appeal (20/1), Chelseas Friend (22/1), Howyated (25/1), Getaway Shivvie (28/1), Gallant Geronimo (33/1), Bearwithmenow (40/1), Roccorionach (40/1), Worth Presenting (40/1), Winston Wolfe (40/1), Ximyerg (40/1), Keenaghan Lass (50/1)

SHEAN GLORY benefited from a positive ride in a first-time hood when second at Limerick 9 days ago and, if in the same mood, he could be up to landing a race that, despite the big field, appears to lack depth. Round The Buoy, who opened his account with blinkers fitted at Punchestown recently, is also considered despite a hefty rise, while Something Sweet may well bounce back after a break.
