Forecasts

Narlita (7/2), Granite Bay (4/1), Denim And Diamonds (6/1), Grann's Boy (7/1), Slurricane (8/1), Rain (8/1), Mon Coeur (8/1), Clear Quartz (9/1), Thatwilldoso (10/1), Ehteyat (12/1), Spanish John (16/1), War Rooms (20/1), Ephesus (20/1), Minella Mate (25/1), Granville Street (28/1), Hamsiyann (40/1), Chemdawg (66/1), Northern Ruler (80/1)

Ross O'Sullivan's SLURRICANE could prove the answer to this wide-open handicap given he returns to the Flat on a lenient mark and showed his well-being with a promising hurdling seventh at Listowel. Roscommon runner-up Ehteyat heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for a host of others, including Ephesus, War Rooms, Granite Bay and Clear Quartz.
