Forecasts

Gee Force Flyer (4/7), Legendary Luke (9/2), Tamarind Bay (11/2), Allstitchedup (9/1)

None of the quartet can be ruled out but GEE FORCE FLYER caught the eye when a strong-finishing third on his recent hurdling bow over C&D so looks the way to go. Jamie Snowden's hurdling newcomer Legendary Luke brings plenty of potential though and is not without interest, while Allstitchedup and Tamarind Bay can't be discounted either in an intriguing contest.
