Forecasts

Appy Days (9/5), Casablanca (2/1), The Blue Bomber (9/4), Paris Bound (12/1), Marauder (25/1), L'ami De Rouge (250/1)

This is only a weak maiden and offers Casablanca another chance of getting off the mark but she looks increasingly difficult to win with and may have to give best to the primarily jumps based duo of THE BLUE BOMBER and Appy Days. The former has yet to run on the Flat but should be capable of taking a contest like this based on his hurdles rating of 120. Appy Days didn’t quite match expectations when making her debut on the Flat over C&D but is worth another chance to atone in such a poor contest. 1. The Blue Bomber 2. Appy Days 3. Casablanca
