Forecasts

Shoda (10/11), Not Just Any Eagle (6/1), Harry's Legacy (6/1), Highwind (11/1), So Scottish (14/1), No Niki No (14/1), Curious Bride (20/1), Ephesus (20/1), Enge Hazard (20/1), The Truant (25/1), Action Plan (25/1)

SHODA is taken to build on her excellent second in a big-field staying handicap at Galway and strike under Dylan Brown McMonagle. So Scottish should have scope from his opening Flat mark judged on his jumps ability and is second choice ahead of Highwind.
