Forecasts

Younevercall (9/4), On The Blind Side (11/4), Black Op (11/4), Mia's Storm (6/1), Old Guard (13/2), With Discretion (7/1), Thomas Campbell (12/1), Jarveys Plate (12/1), Blu Cavalier (20/1), Rayvin Black (40/1)

Both Younevercall and the mare With Discretion are unknown commodities at this level, yet the latter in particular falls into the 'could be anything bracket'. She has a positive long-term future for Nicky Henderson (saddles three runners), but this rates as a tough gig on forecast good ground, whereas Younevercall (back from wind surgery) has conditions firmly in his favour. However, the safest advice is to stick with the obvious, and take the promising Grade 1 winning novice BLACK OP to end a so far fruitless campaign on a much more positive note.
