Forecasts

Tyger Bay (3/1), Alafdhal (3/1), Little Muddy (16/5), Origintrail (7/2), Happier (15/2), Tickets (8/1)

ALAFDHAL was in good form on all-weather over the winter and has continued that fine run on turf, so provided this doesn't come too soon after Monday's Pontefract success, he can win again. Tyger Bay is a player on his first turf start of the year, with Little Muddy the pick of the remainder.
