Forecasts

Skipper (4/11), Dancing Magic (7/2), Buon Viaggio (5/1), Odin Legacy (22/1), Saved Lizzie (33/1), Blackwaterfoot (80/1), Darkest Intention (150/1), Apache Canyon (200/1), Ya Rayah (200/1), Sense Of Reason (200/1), Cotswold Cottage (250/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and SKIPPER, who boasts some strong form, looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account on the back of his excellent Southwell second last time out. The Crisfords' newcomer Buon Viaggio could emerge as the one to chase him home, especially if the market vibes are positive, ahead of Dancing Magic who also has the form to have a say if back on his A-game.
