Forecasts

Alafdhal (15/8), Unavailable (4/1), So Obsessed (5/1), Kento (6/1), Bobby On The Beat (6/1), Under Curfew (9/1), Coolagh Magic (11/1), Second Collection (11/1), Edergole's Gift (20/1), Enchanted Night (40/1)

UNAVAILABLE showed enough speed to overcome a wide draw here prior to Christmas and can defy a 3 lb higher mark. Alafdhal is drawn widest of all but arrives at the top of his game, so is also shortlisted alongside Kento, who makes his debut for Tony Carroll with the yard in red-hot form.
