Forecasts

Sea The Buckthorn (10/3), Outreach (10/3), Van Zant (10/3), Fieldsman (7/2), Swiss Rowe (8/1), Available Angel (9/1), Kraken Diamond (12/1), Ok Pal (28/1), Say Grace (50/1), Musaytir (66/1)

Having scored at Southwell in December, FIELDSMAN only found one too good there last time and, off the same mark, he should be hard to pass in a race where most have something to prove. Stablemates Sea The Buckthorn and Outreach look the main dangers.
