Forecasts

Ribal (15/8), Roaring Legend (3/1), Feud (5/1), Power Of Gold (7/1), Razoni (15/2), Stellar Grande (17/2), Boy Douglas (22/1), Sir Jock Bennett (28/1)

COVERDALE progressed with each start last season and this longer trip may well unlock further improvement. He can make a winning return. Ribal and Razoni rate the principal dangers.
