Forecasts

Ahlawi (2/13), Aylesford (15/8), Alphonse Karr (12/1), Sir Taweel (14/1), Johnny Estella (16/1), Faina Pico (20/1), Alehandro (33/1)

AHLAWI stepped up plenty on his debut form despite finding one too good at Kempton (7f) earlier this month. However, that may not prove his limit and he's fancied to make another bold bid from the front down at 6f. Aylesford shaped with abundant promise on his respective debut in the same race as the selection and is a big threat. Newcomer Alphonse Karr is also worth a second look.
