Forecasts

Sea's Aria (4/1), Dixie Highway (5/1), Mr Boss Man (8/1), Shake The Bucket (10/1), Scenic Star (10/1), Marino Marvel (10/1), Talsara (12/1), Micras (16/1), Fly Round The Bend (16/1), Eight And Bob (16/1), Carraigin Aonair (16/1), Turasoir (18/1), Sea Bank (25/1), Flannery (25/1), Kalann (25/1), Zambezi Tiger (33/1), Ten Star Lion (40/1), Fraser (50/1)

Verdict

DIXIE HIGHWAY is raised 5lb on last month's narrow Limerick win but he might have had more in hand than looked obvious there and, in any case, this longer trip is also likely to aid his cause. He can double-up here in a competitive contest. Marino Marvel will be a threat if able to transfer recent AW form from Dundalk over this trip now running on turf again while Talsara stayed on encouragingly on reappearance at Limerick and should benefit going up in distance here. Mr Boss Man was noted winning a charity race at Punchestown and could get involved here while veteran Shake The Bucket could play a role upped to 2m.
