Forecasts

Benacre (9/4), Yaaser (3/1), Vince Le Prince (11/2), Ziggy's Condor (13/2), Master Richard (9/1), Fletchers Dream (12/1), Jenni (14/1), Novak (28/1), Judgment Call (28/1)

Verdict

FLETCHERS DREAM bounced back to his best when scoring over C&D under this rider last month and remains on a fair mark having won off 65 in the autumn. Vince le Prince was beaten only by an improving 3-y-o at Thirsk 2 weeks ago so is another to consider along with Ziggy's Condor, who's back in calmer waters having contested 2 big-field handicaps at York in recent months.

  1. Fletchers Dream12/1
  2. Vince Le Prince11/2
  3. Ziggy's Condor13/2
