Forecasts

Favori Logique (8/15), Father Jed (11/2), Nuttorridge (8/1), Warreedy (9/1), Top Question (16/1), Light Bulb (22/1), Lessofdnegativity (25/1), Makeyourcall (25/1), Court Adjourned (28/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (33/1), October Revolution (40/1), Sanibel Island (66/1), Getzie (80/1), Eversosaucy (80/1), Tara Mia (125/1)

FAVORI LOGIQUE is thriving and readily capitalised on his lower chasing mark to complete a hat-trick in emphatic fashion at Ballinrobe 5 days ago, so there's every chance he can defy a penalty to complete the four-timer if the race doesn't come too soon. Father Ted, who was second to the selection last time, and chasing debutant Nuttorridge look the most solid alternatives.
