Forecasts

Bell Shot (3/1), Alseeyerthere (7/2), Charencey (7/1), Buckshaw Village (7/1), Al Muqdad (7/1), Wake Up Harry (7/1), Sir Maxi (9/1), Supaspecialawesome (12/1), Valtellina (14/1), Musical Mystery (18/1), Yoshimi (20/1)

ALSEEYERTHERE should be spot on after her fine return at Doncaster last month and is fancied to get back on the scoreboard. Al Muqdad and Valtellina rate the principal dangers.
