Forecasts

Alligator Alley (15/8), Tone The Barone (10/3), Bedford Flyer (5/1), Lord Riddiford (11/2), Kaboo (9/1), Venturous (11/1), Strong Power (12/1)

ALLIGATOR ALLEY showed himself to be a fair bit ahead of his mark given plenty went wrong when scoring at Southwell 12 days ago and can defy a 4 lb rise. Bedford Flyer enhanced his good record on AW when resuming winning ways last month and is feared most ahead of Strong Power.
