Forecasts

Shannon Royale (30/100), Skradin (3/1), Huntsgrove (10/1), No Turn Unstoned (12/1), Mystic Sage (25/1), Cedar Wood (80/1), Something Small (150/1), The Flying Donkey (150/1), Wild River Fall (150/1), Vodka Warlord (200/1)

SHANNON ROYALE was a convincing winner of a Clonmel bumper in April and looks to been found a good opportunity to make a successful transition to hurdling here. Skradin and Huntsgrove may provide the chief threat.
