Forecasts
Willie Shake Hands (10/3), Jumping Jupiter (10/3), Wild Nephin (7/2), Moran's Law (6/1), Mix De Gris (15/2), Belle Na Bann (10/1), Socks Off (16/1), The Dipper (18/1), Likleman (100/1)
WILLIE SHAKE HANDS caught the eye when second over C&D last time and has good claims of getting off the mark if racing more efficiently. Mix de Gris looks fairly handicapped and makes appeal back on a sounder surface, while recent runner-up Wild Nephin merits plenty of respect over this stiffer test. Socks Off is worth a market check racing off his last winning hurdles mark.
