Forecasts

Joey Steel (2/1), Fact Of The Matter (2/1), Cage Of Fear (11/4), Black Anthem (5/1)

Verdict

BLACK ANTHEM can be forgiven a recent tame effort over hurdles and his previous outing was a positive one, so a chance is taken on him to make a winning return to chasing in a tricky event. Fact of The Matter strikes as a danger dropping in grade, while Joey Steel is an obvious player if he applies himself under pressure.
