Forecasts

Quarenta (5/4), Diplomate Sivola (7/4), Bally Longford (11/4)

With neither of his rivals looking remotely well handicapped in recent starts this looks a sound opportunity for Jonjo O'Neill's progressive chaser QUARENTA who did really well last season. He should leave his Warwick reapparance well behind now as most from this yard do second time out and he is strongly fancied today. Bally Longford is the slight preference for second ahead of Diplomate Sivola.
