Forecasts

Logical Song (1/1), La Bella Vida (5/2), Spider Web (6/1), Bendanella (8/1), Adimelo (12/1)

Verdict

Logical Song will likely be popular here having finished a close second over a much longer trip at Ballinrobe last time out. That form, along with a second at Clonmel in the spring, entitles him to a strong presence in the market but it has to rank as some kind of concern that he twice failed to get around in four starts over fences. For that reason, an alternative might be worth seeking. Bendanella was strong in the market for a C&D contest last month but never threatened and was pulled up, so it will be interesting to see how he's judged this time while Adimelo could improve for the switch to chasing. LA BELLA VIDA scored around here over hurdles last month and, receiving 7lb for this first start over fences, the mare may be up to a winning start in an open event.
  1. La Bella Vida
  2. Logical Song
  3. Adimelo
