Forecasts

Shadow Paddy (15/8), Long Gone (5/1), Half A Chance (11/2), Crowsatedappletart (6/1), Hidalgo Des Mottes (15/2), Onefortheditch (17/2), Reflectionist (10/1), Boston Rajj (12/1), Rut Daniels (12/1), Happy Me (14/1), Avandra (18/1), O' Bon Pardon (18/1), Silent Selector (20/1), Monroes Hollow (33/1), Answering (33/1), Penny Jar (40/1)

SHADOW PADDY made a winning handicap debut at Tipperary 15 days ago and, with further progress anticipated now stepping up in trip, he looks capable of going in again from an 8 lb higher mark. Crowsatedappletart remains of interest back over hurdles, with Half A Chance completing the shortlist.
