Forecasts

Tullyveery Lad (9/2), Our Dylan (6/1), Brideswell Lad (7/1), Sight Nor Seen (15/2), The Holmeister (8/1), Reverse Polarity (9/1), Good World (10/1), Royal Recital (10/1), Bear Claws (12/1), Dont Doubt Me (14/1), Touch Of Oscar (14/1), Island Glory (16/1), Serpolette (22/1), Mizuma (22/1), Legacy Of Dreams (28/1)

SIGHT NOR SEEN isn't badly treated and arrives on the back of a couple of solid efforts (over fences last time), so he gets the nod in a race that lacks depth. Reverse Polarity, also returning to this sphere having run creditably in a chase, ranks as a danger and the well-treated Bear Claws can't be dismissed having shaped with more encouragement at Roscommon last time.
