Forecasts

Mehman (7/2), Keke (7/2), Jazzy Dancer (7/1), So Majestic (17/2), Inishmot Prince (9/1), Bold Optimist (11/1), American In Paris (11/1), Reinforce (12/1), Senado Square (16/1), Below Deck (20/1), Shoebox King (20/1), Rumbled Again (22/1), Imperial Khan (80/1)

Lots with chances. KEKE shaped well on his return when fifth in a big-field Navan handicap so looks the way to go on a lenient mark. Mehman heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Curragh fifth, while Bold Optimist, Inishmot Prince and So Majestic all need factoring into this very open handicap.
