Forecasts

Dream Mount (10/3), Sharp Reminder (7/2), Metkaif (7/2), Surfa Rosa (6/1), Bachelor (7/1), Corazon Espinado (8/1), Reverberation (12/1), Passing Clouds (16/1), Teardrop Island (50/1)

METKAIF has been gelded since he was last in action when finishing fourth at Lingfield in November and he can make a winning handicap debut in this 7f handicap. The selection can get the better of stablemate and last time out winner Surfa Rosa on this occasion with top weight Bachelor capable of claiming third.
