Forecasts

Dragon's Fire (9/4), Progressive Ez (3/1), El Picaro (4/1), Valentinka (4/1), Ryknild Street (9/2), Berkshire Miele (18/1), Sisterandbrother (22/1), Mcgivern (22/1), Ower Starlight (25/1), Throne Power (25/1), Joe Proud (28/1), Intoxication (50/1), Rubee Forty (66/1), Noafence (150/1), Majestyk Fire (200/1)

An open-looking maiden which can go the way of DRAGON'S FIRE, who improved switched to turf after 5 months off when fourth at Nottingham a fortnight ago and this step up in trip looks sure to suit Alex Hales' charge. El Picaro stepped up on his debut effort at Kempton last month and he could provide the main threat here, ahead of Progressive Ez.
