Forecasts

Megalomaniac (5/4), Demi Plie (3/1), Licklighter (7/1), Thisonesforollie (7/1), Song Of The Sky (10/1), Knock On Steel (16/1), The Artful Roger (20/1), Fintown Boy (33/1), Love The Well (50/1)

Verdict

There was a lot to like about the chase debut from LICKLIGHTER a fortnight ago and he can represent good value to take things a step further this time. Megalomaniac is also an interesting contender now he races over fences for the first time and is another to seriously consider if he attracts strong support in the betting. Whereas The Artful Roger is bred to appreciate a good test and he too can play a part if he can raise his game now he's tried over fences. Thisonesforollie gets weight from the boys and will be a main beneficiary if any of the chasing debutantes fail to deliver.
  1. Licklighter
  2. Megalomaniac
  3. The Artful Roger
