Forecasts
Tyrconnell (2/1), Masalai (4/1), Ticks The Boxes (9/2), A Likely Story (11/2), Beleaguerment (6/1), Cappadocia (10/1), Silk Cravat (12/1), Drummer (12/1), Scream (12/1), Midnitemudcrabs (14/1), Lady Sonia (16/1), Rag Tatter (20/1), Red All Star (25/1), Clueless Hill (25/1), Pegasus Bridge (25/1), Theoneyouare (33/1), Crystal Dawn (33/1)
The Edward Lynam-trained MASALAI has a win and two places from three starts over C&D to his name and can add to that tally here following a pleasing run finishing third of 14 beaten 1L over the combination last month. The six-year-old can land the spoils in the final race ahead of C&D winner A Likely Story now back below last winning mark and the Mark Fahey-trained Cappadocia who has five wins to his name at this venue. Red All Star could go well if allowed to dictate early on from stall two.
