Forecasts

Jaafel (10/3), Benavente (4/1), Circles (6/1), Macadam's Rock (13/2), Ampeson (9/1), Exquisite Acclaim (10/1), Jered Maddox (11/1), She's In The Game (12/1), Punk Poet (18/1), Yester (20/1), Surviving Murmansk (40/1), Bucky Larson (100/1)

Verdict

Adrian McGuinness saddles two live contenders in EXQUISITE ACCLAIM and Jaafel, who joined the yard following his success in a 1m claimer for Denis Hogan last month. The latter is consistent on the whole but preference is for his stablemate, who shaped well off this reduced mark over C&D when last seen in December. Punk Poet needs to get back on track but he's feared having slipped to a tempting mark, while the hat-trick seeking Circles and She's In The Game are others to consider.

  1. Exquisite Acclaim10/1
  2. Jaafel10/3
  3. Punk Poet18/1
