Forecasts

Gordon Bennett (7/2), Shawaamekh (7/2), Dandyville (9/2), Clara's Approach (15/2), Sister Lola (12/1), Superior Force (14/1), Super Cub (14/1), Pretty Smart (14/1), Hightimeyouwon (14/1), Queen's Pardon (14/1), Mogwli (16/1), Sister Rosetta (20/1), Belardeen (33/1), Alphonse Karr (125/1)

In an open handicap a chance is taken on DANDYVILLE who is 3 lb lower than when gaining the last of his 3 wins in in 2021 and ran his best race of the current campaign when third at Fairyhouse recently. Gordon Bennett had an excuse last time and will be a threat if close to the level he showed when second in a big field at the Curragh on his penultimate start. Clara's Approach and Sister Lola are also on the shortlist.
