Forecasts

Murphy's Law (1/1), Braavos (11/4), Tokaramore (11/2), Inca Gold (8/1), Desert Island Dusk (12/1), Ripstick (66/1)

The progressive MURPHY'S LAW has some experience of fences from his point-to-point days, so that should stand him in good stead. He was well on top of Craig Star (runs earlier) when winning over hurdles at Bangor (2m7f) a fortnight ago and a subsequent 8lb rise in the weights shouldn't necessarily thwart his positive momentum. Assuming that he fences fluently, he's expected to take all of the beating with the front-running Braavos next best on paper.
