Forecasts

Chance Another One (6/4), Kilashee (3/1), Lariat (9/2), Sydney Cruiser (7/1), Mighty Soldier (10/1), Sineads Fancy (12/1), Klassman (12/1), Drumcliff Bay (14/1), Scottish Dancer (14/1), Stretchemout (16/1), Illucidate (16/1), Seventy Eight Team (18/1), Sallap (22/1), Cathys Quest (25/1), Tom Kelly (25/1), Oskar High (28/1), Isthereonemoreinme (50/1), Castlehill Boy (50/1), Rockon Henry (66/1)

SCOTTISH DANCER built up a very solid record in handicaps during the second half of 2024 and in the hope that he returns on his game, this mark is well within range. Lariat is a solid opponent, while a market move for Chance Another One starting out for Emmet Mullins would look very significant.
