Forecasts

Hascoeur Clermont (2/1), Shannon Gray (5/1), The Holmeister (6/1), Lily Light Foot (15/2), Oskar High (15/2), Yenillik (10/1), Paddy Wickla (14/1), Benkei (16/1), Siberian Star (18/1), Fill The Tank (20/1), Robindale (20/1), Abraham (28/1), Happy Lad (33/1), My Ladeen (50/1)

BENKEI's latest success was back in 2018 and he's not getting any younger, but he is nevertheless appealing now reunited Rachael Blackmore on the back of an encouraging effort at Navan where the 12-y-o shaped as though this significant step back up in trip would be a good thing. Paddy Wickla is on a workable mark and is shortlisted, along with Lily Light Foot and Shannon Gray, but last-time-out winners Hascoeur Clermont and Oskar High both need to produce personal bests off their revised marks.
