Forecasts

Smart Casual (2/1), He's A Latchico (5/2), What's My Line (11/4), Thirtyfour Thirty (7/2), Highlander Casseul (6/1), Play By The Rules (8/1), Ray's The One (10/1), Leading The Way (22/1)

Verdict

The case for HE'S A LATCHICO is a pretty compelling one, given that he's 2-2 over C&D and found just one too good off this mark in a stronger race at Sandown on Saturday. What's My Line also has winning form here and looks the main danger on the back of his recent Lingfield success. Smart Casual is probably capable of better than he has shown thus far and is most interesting of the remainder.
