Forecasts

Achnamara (11/8), Aviles (10/3), Mombasa (10/3), Wholeofthemoon (11/2), Jilaijone (22/1)

MOMBASA joined Philip Hobbs's yard for €250,000 in July after going unbeaten in two runs over hurdles in Fance and this exciting prospect is taken to extend his unbeaten record at the chief expense of Achnamara, who was a useful winner on the level and shouldn't be underestimated on his debut for the in-form Harry Fry team. Jilaijone, Aviles and Wholeofthemoon can't be dismissed either in a most intriguing contest.
