Forecasts

Tenaya Canyon (85/40), Patsy Fagan (11/4), Stay Smart (7/2), Baileys Breathless (6/1), Obtuse (9/1), Rania (16/1)

TENAYA CANYON looked a sprinter that would improve in time when winning at Newcastle in November. She looks the one to beat as she returns from a break on her handicap debut. Stay Smart did too much too soon at Wolverhampton last time and should be the biggest danger. Patsy Fagan can't be ruled out either after his C&D win last time.
