Forecasts

Alia Choice (5/4), Sherdil (11/4), Em Jay Kay (5/1), Debit Card (7/1), Tabeeb (18/1), Highest Ambition (25/1), Enlightenment (33/1)

ALIA CHOICE is out of a smart sprinter and showed a bit when fourth at Newcastle 44 days ago, so she's a straightforward choice to open her account at the second attempt in a thin race. Em Jay Kay, who also arrives on the back of an encouraging debut, could prove the main danger for a new yard, while Sherdil can make his presence felt if a first-time visor has the desired effect.
