Forecasts

Shuil Ceoil (6/4), Maximum Effort (9/2), A Tickatickatiming (5/1), Hot Rod Lincoln (11/2), Summer In Milan (6/1), Vendant (14/1), Chankaya (14/1), Getaway Cory (16/1), Onnaroll (18/1), Westtara (33/1), Constant Friday (66/1)

This looks a winnable race and SHUIL CEOIL shouldn't need to improve to take this now racing off a 7 lb lower mark than when last seen finishing fourth over hurdles. Maximum Effort and Summer In Milan both need to leave disappointing efforts behind, though the latter is relatively lightly-raced and could prove the main danger to the selection.
