Forecasts

Camlann (9/4), Monastic (5/1), Like A Demon (7/1), Close Shave (7/1), Bilbo Bagins (8/1), Crehelp (8/1), Dontbackme (11/1), Dubai Devils (14/1), Thekingofrocknroll (14/1), Canadian Steel (16/1), War Of The Pennys (25/1), For Freddie (25/1), Redoute Star (40/1)

Verdict

Close Shave is one to look out for now handicapping and any market support would certainly make him interesting given jockey booking and a trainer going well. Canadian Steel is another handicap debutant and he may be on a lenient mark for this while Like A Demon will surely prove his latest Clonmel effort to have been subpar. Camlann may have found his Fairyhouse run came too quickly off the Down Royal win previously and is a leading contender now but a chance is taken on the returning DUBAI DEVILS. He has gone close in maidens before and looks to be on a workable mark now returning from almost a year off.
  1. Dubai Devils
  2. Camlann
  3. Like A Demon
