Forecasts

Mo Celita (7/4), Tenth Century (4/1), Afro Blue (4/1), Avior Star (6/1), Firsteen (9/1), War of Clans (11/1), Catherine's Girl (28/1), Fliss Floss (33/1), Carla Koala (33/1), Ballyvil (40/1)

Verdict

MO CELITA made a winning debut for Adrian Nicholls in a similar contest at Leicester last month and is taken to follow up. Tenth Century may have been unsuited by fibresand at Southwell last week and he's a possible threat based on his turf form prior to that, particularly if blinkers have a positive effect. Afro Blue may prove best of the rest.

  2. TENTH CENTURY
