Forecasts

Star Shield (7/4), Shine On Brendan (3/1), Showmedemoney (10/3), Flylikeaneagle (10/3), Alpine Sierra (11/2)

C&D scorer STAR SHIELD shaped as if in top form when fifth at Newcastle last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of recent Musselburgh victor Flylikeaneagle, who can also boast a C&D win and rates a big threat. In-form Showmedemoney appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
