Forecasts

Poker School (15/8), Vosne Romanee (9/2), Canicallyouback (11/2), Abidjan (8/1), Ink Master (8/1), Gabrial The Great (10/1), Notarfbad (12/1), Owen Na View (25/1), Walden Prince (40/1)

A good little race for the money and plenty can be given some sort of a chance. Notarfbad is likely to make a bold bid from the front but may find one or two others have a bit too much toe at the business end, and VOSNE ROMANEE is top of that list. He looks to have more to offer and this should be run to suit him. Owen Na View has some moderate looking form figures but there have been excuses and he could outrun likely big odds. A wide open race for third can be taken by Poker School.
