Forecasts

Menai Bridge (11/8), Precision Storm (9/2), Hector's Here (9/2), Athmad (5/1), Broomy Law (11/1), Matchless (14/1), Cityzen Serg (33/1)

PRECISION STORM is a consistent type and he has won over C&D. He drops in class after a solid effort last month and deserves to get his head in front again. Broomy Law has some respectable form to his name for his previous yard and Scott Dixon has made a good start to 2022 so he has to be considered. Hector's Here could play a part too.
