Forecasts

Galahad Quest (13/8), Allmankind (5/2), Motashakel (11/4), Langholm (11/2), Gaia Vallis (40/1)

A small but select field which could see ALLMANKIND strike on his hurdles debut. The three-year-old offers the best form from the flat in this sphere and could be helped out by the wind operation he has had. Langholm was a respectable performer on the level and could put it up to him if replicating that form, while Galahad Quest remains an unknown but is related to some incredibly smart types in his pedigree.
