Forecasts

Bleu Et Rouge (15/8), Identity Thief (2/1), Some Plan (10/3), Royal Caviar (5/1)

14:30 Leopardstown - 29 January 2017 - Results - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Despite Min's withdrawal late this week, a fascinating four-runner field has assembled with all of the protagonists holding realistic claims. Royal Caviar dominated to score easily at Thurles on chase bow but will not get things as easy now while Bleu Et Rouge might just lack the speed to win at this trip in this company. A nagging doubt over Identity Thief's well-being persists given he was pulled up lame here just a month ago. For that reason, stablemate SOME PLAN gets the vote to maintain his upward curve. He has been excellent over fences bar one error at Cheltenham in November but he bounced back in style recently at Naas and can land a second big prize of the week for his Thyestes-winning owner/trainer combination. 1. Some Plan 2. Identity Thief 3. Bleu Et Rouge
