Forecasts

Court Canyon (4/6), Garnetot (5/1), Heron's Butler (15/2), Bly Manor (8/1), Shing Shang Lily (17/2), Lion Of The Desert (12/1), Katie Daniels (12/1), Fancy A Tipple (20/1), King Mal (28/1), Keeptheoldmanout (50/1), My Boy Christy (66/1), Hercrazysbeautiful (200/1), Moononthebay (200/1), Cailin Fort (200/1)

SHING SHANG LILY showed something like her hurdling debut form when fifth of 15 at Kilbeggan last month and could be the answer in this appreciably weaker maiden. Garnetot is yet to reproduce her French form but isn't written off just yet. while Heron's Butler remains open to improvement now stepping up in trip.
