Forecasts

Smart Lass (7/4), St Andrews (3/1), Masters Apprentice (4/1), Legalized (4/1), Nataleena (4/1), Only Orsenfoolsies (9/2), Archie's Sister (9/2), Gordalan (18/1), Richard Strauss (25/1), Late For The Sky (50/1)

A tough race to call, given that local trainer Phil Kirby arrives mob-handed, with Richard Strauss, Archie's Sister and Gordalan all representing him. Cases of some sort can be made for all three, while neither Masters Apprentice nor St Andrews is ruled out. Only Orsenfoolsies is thoroughly consistent across both codes and looks a big player, but even he may struggle to successfully concede weight to the in-form SMART LASS, who romped home last time and is taken to defy a 5lb penalty.
