Forecasts

Hallasan (10/11), Al Qudra (9/2), Arran (6/1), Sabrimento (15/2), The Actor (12/1), Bretton Wood (16/1), King Of Angels (50/1)

An early-season 2-y-o novice that usually produces a few useful types and the betting often points the way. HALLASAN and Al Qudra both make plenty of appeal on paper for red-hot Charlie Appleby and William Buick's mount gets the vote before market clues. Bretton Wood, and Arran, from a yard that had an impressive 2-y-o winner at Kempton last week, are a couple of others to note.
