Forecasts

Blu Boy (6/5), Dillydingdillydong (5/2), Alhaajeb (11/2), Typical Man (9/1), Ventura Vision (14/1), Crown Princess (16/1), Bois De Norton (50/1), Moorland Queen (100/1)

BLU BOY was impressive at Newcastle last week and he's been raised 12 lb from this weekend for that wide-margin success. He looks difficult to oppose under today's 6 lb penalty despite having to prove himself on a different surface. Alhaajeb starts life in handicaps off a workable-looking mark and he is the main danger. Bois De Norton is another handicap debutant of interest.
