Forecasts

Eruption (7/2), Aurora Nova (9/2), Shoebox King (5/1), Layoftheland (6/1), Rebecca's Girl (8/1), My Girl Sioux (17/2), Havana Notion (17/2), Miqdaad (12/1), Luxury Island (14/1), Nordic Passage (18/1), Hernes Hill (20/1), Stopitnowjulia (25/1), Only A Star (25/1), Hasiyna (25/1), Maestro Stick (28/1), Butterfly Bush (33/1), Wayside Lady (33/1), Pearl Of Cotai (33/1), Florence Thompson (50/1)

SHOEBOX KING signalled he is ready to end his losing run when a very good fourth at Tipperary last time out and can capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark here. Eruption could emerge as the main danger on the back of her good Navan second, with Aurora Nova, Layoftheland and Havana Notion also in the mix.
