Forecasts

Byker (3/1), Jazzy Matty (3/1), Sir Allen (10/3), Morning Soldier (11/2), Metamorpheus (7/1), Almuhit (9/1)

Little to choose between all 6 on what they have achieved so far but BYKER left his hurdles bow well behind when winning a big-field maiden here so could be the answer. Metamorpheus has a similar profile to the selection so rates the main threat ahead of Jazzy Matty.
