Forecasts

Alessandro Algardi (6/5), Cordouan (5/2), These Days (4/1), Camdeboo (11/2), Castletownshend (7/1), Cometh The Man (22/1), Prioritise (22/1), Brokers Tip (40/1), Ciankyle (100/1)

Providing he takes to this surface ALESSANDRO ALGARDI is likely to prove hard to beat. He looked very promising during a light 3-y-o campaign and while he made a low-key start to this season, his latest effort at Tipperary represented a step firmly back in the right direction. Stablemate Camdeboo is likely to be on the premises, but if all is well with Cordouan, who landed an AW maiden on his final start for the Gosdens last spring, he could be the one to follow the selection home.
