Forecasts

Aljaryaal (10/11), Forge Valley Lad (3/1), Blue Medici (13/2), County Wicklow (11/1), Helian (16/1), Samille (20/1), Rakematiz (33/1)

ALJARYAAL resumed his progress when narrowly denied at Southwell last time and is fancied to get back to winning ways under Tom Marquand. Forge Valley Lad has been performing well this winter and looks the chief threat ahead of Blue Medici.
