Forecasts

Shadow Paddy (9/2), Duke Silver (7/1), Folly Beach (7/1), Queenofthelodge (7/1), Red Glory (7/1), Arcland (8/1), Storm Mahler (8/1), Boston Rajj (11/1), Hills Of Glory (14/1), Penny Express (14/1), Ballycashin (16/1), Way Down South (16/1), Duty Bound (18/1), Boston Jury (20/1), Giant Haystacks (22/1), Gatehouse Boy (28/1), Majestic Jameela (40/1)

SHADOW PADDY has proven a different proposition since sent handicapping and having scored with plenty in hand at Limerick on his most recent outing, he gets the nod to complete the hat-trick. Arcland shaped well on his last hurdle start and can go well again, with Queenofthelodge and Hills of Glory others to note in a highly-competitive affair.
