Forecasts

Opposites Attract (2/1), Longhouse Poet (10/3), The Big Dog (4/1), Vis Ta Loi (11/2), Run Wild Fred (13/2), Mr Hendricks (16/1), Great Trango (66/1), Face The Odds (80/1)

Verdict

OPPOSITES ATTRACT has the best chasing form and looks capable of improvement trying this sort of trip for the first time, so he's marginally preferred to Longhouse Poet, who has a disappointing run to put behind him. The Big Dog is another one to consider.

  1. OPPOSITES ATTRACT (IRE)
  2. LONGHOUSE POET (IRE)
  3. THE BIG DOG (IRE)
