Forecasts

Wyvern (9/4), Aljari (9/2), Maxi Boy (9/2), Chola Empire (11/2), Zero Carbon (11/2), Riot (6/1), Amber Island (13/2), Meishar (15/2), Siam Fox (22/1)

Verdict

ALJARI is in the middle of a resurgence and did well to get up having met trouble at Windsor last month, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick for all that this looks a reasonable event for the grade. Riot has been in good order and should be on the premises again, while Wyvern deserves respect having found only one too good over C&D last time.

  1. Aljari9/2
  2. Riot6/1
  3. Wyvern9/4
