Forecasts

Alfred Munnings (8/11), Tenerife (7/2), Simpson's Paradox (4/1), Segomo (9/2), Trachonitus (8/1), Voce Del Palio (12/1), Our Boy Wes (33/1), Commander Sayer (50/1), Monnow Valley (200/1)

The market will no doubt prove informative with the majority being unraced so ALFRED MUNNINGS is taken to score first time up and provide another winner for the in-form Moore/O'Brien combination. The selection's stablemate Tenerife is another who makes plenty of appeal on paper so he gets the nod for second, with Simpson's Paradox and Trachonitus next on the list.
