Reluctant individual. 22/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 5 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Sets the standard and looks the one to beat.

Forecasts

Khafaaq (7/2), Roderick (4/1), Zahee (9/2), Neandra (6/1), La Tulipe Noire (6/1), Monzoon (10/1), Jupiter Rock (10/1), Florida Taiga (14/1), Kartayaz (25/1), Selective Power (33/1), Esticky End (33/1), Sleepless Knight (50/1)

Verdict

RODERICK's fifth in a handicap at Leopardstown 5 days ago is the best recent form on offer and, with blinkers applied, he's taken to capitalise on this drop in grade. Khafaaq is an obvious danger if tuned up for his reappearance and Zahee can't be ruled out.
