Forecasts

I Bid You Ajou (7/2), Madame Plaintiff (9/2), Elliott (11/2), Alex Belardo (7/1), Glamorously (7/1), Hijo De La Luna (15/2), Spirit Of Eagles (8/1), Dear Daphne (12/1), Big Baby Bull (16/1), Inflection Point (28/1), Hasiyna (80/1)

ALEX BELARDO didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Musselburgh last time out so is fancied to gain a deserved first success off a 1 lb lower mark here. Elliott heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Fairyhouse fourth, with in-form duo I Bid You Ajou and Dear Daphne also well in the mix.
