Forecasts

Al Barez (5/2), Billyjoh (3/1), Ingra Tor (6/1), Shalaa Asker (7/1), Billboa (9/1), Intervention (10/1), Rhythm N Hooves (12/1), Tiger Crusade (14/1), Paws For Thought (50/1), Strong Power (50/1), Rock Of England (50/1)

Verdict

AL BAREZ took his form up a notch when going in at Kempton and Tom Clover's low-mileage 5-y-o is fancied to make light of a 3 lb rise and fend off Irish challenger Billboa who bids for a four-timer. C&D winner Shalaa Asker is another who should be on the premises, while Mick Appleby's in-form duo Billyjoh and Intervention command plenty of respect too in this competitive handicap.
