Forecasts

Logical Song (10/11), Knockraha Boss (4/1), No Dice (9/2), Third Opinion (12/1), Game Puppeteer (14/1), You Can't Catch Me (20/1), Dangerous Games (20/1), Snugsborough Hall (40/1), Wild And Wonderful (40/1)

Verdict

Knockraha Boss has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to give another decent showing here while the same is true of Logical Song. Enthusiasm for the latter is tempered by recent figures of 222 however and his latest run came only on Sunday. NO DICE has shaped well enough over fences to suggest a race like this is within his compass. He came down at Down Royal in January on previous run but was still going well. Given a break since, he may be able to open his account. Third Opinion's trainer is in such a vein of form that it will cause no shock should he run a big race off a 22-month absence on his first start for the yard.
