Forecasts

Supagirl (7/4), Prime Chief (9/2), Dudley's Bar (9/1), Never Back Down (10/1), Jawhary (10/1), Miss Florentine (12/1), Bridgehead (12/1), Airglow (12/1), Dare To Flare (14/1), Alhaajeb (18/1), Party Moon (28/1)

PRIME CHIEF is entitled to come on for his reappearance spin at Down Royal three weeks ago and he could be the answer. It will be interesting to see which way Jawhary goes in the betting on debut for new connections, but he has a nine-month absence to overcome and Dudley's Bar may emerge as the main threat, provided he is able to bounce back following a poor effort last time. Supagirl also enters calculations.
