Forecasts

First Officer (11/10), Al Azhar (6/5), Zain Nights (7/4), Super Stars (7/1)

FIRST OFFICER took a step forward when fourth on his handicap debut at Sandown and with this step up in trip sure to suit he is taken to open his account. Al Azhar has taken a 8 lb hike in the weights for his recent Newbury success but is still feared most ahead of Zain Nights.
