Forecasts

Printing Dollars (9/4), Good And Hardy (9/2), Nearly Perfect (17/2), Max Forte (17/2), Chase End Charlie (9/1), Super Snipe (10/1), Buywise (10/1), Trans Express (11/1), Ballymagroarty Boy (20/1), Druide Premier (25/1), Ravensdale (33/1)

Super Snipe, Druide Premier and Nearly Perfect are potentially better than they have shown of late and are worth noting in early trading. Trans Express and Max Forte are proven around here and should be in the thick of things, but handicap debutants GOOD AND HARDY and Printing Dollars appeal as being beter handicapped. The latter beat a modest field here last time in a slow time but with a Grade 2 handicap being discussed as a target then she would be expected to beat these. However, her jumping has room for improvement. The selection has improved with each run and has little to find off this mark. His stable's horses have been going better lately and he looks the one to beat.
