Forecasts

Miss Corby (11/4), Pure Logic (16/5), Mile End (5/1), Baroness Orczy (11/2), Final Decision (8/1), Bearami Creek (11/1), Haughty (16/1), Justabitofyours (22/1), Belle Of Boston (25/1), Sarah's Express (33/1), Bambeano (40/1), Sandy Roe (66/1), Mayo For Sam (100/1), Tolovelyoldmiltown (125/1)

PURE LOGIC showed more than enough in bumpers to suggest that a race of this nature will be within her grasp, provided of course that she takes to hurdles at the first attempt. Next on the list is Baroness Orczy, who left her debut run behind when seventh in a big-field Naas maiden recently and she is open to further improvement. Final Decision and Mile End are others to consider.
