Forecasts

Shadow Of The Moon (8/11), Arklow Lad (9/2), Miss Travers (7/1), Sci Fi (8/1), Titan Sun (8/1), Tino Pai (10/1), Hot To Foxtrot (22/1), Pansy Poe (22/1), Java Wood (50/1), Snowballs (66/1), Dark Enigma (125/1)

SHADOW OF THE MOON shaped well when a clear second at Tipperary last time and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better now. Joseph O'Brien has his string in good nick and his Sci Fi could emerge as the one to chase home the probably favourite ahead of the returning Miss Travers.
