Forecasts

Ami Debois has the form in the book to take this with his second placed effort behind Wholestone at Cheltenham in December the clear standout form on offer. However, both Overland Flyer and BALLYCRYSTAL are still seemingly firmly on the upgrade (and not yet fully tested like Ami Debois) and if the ground comes up soft, the latter could be very tough to beat, having ploughed through deep winter ground in a much weaker race than this at Newcastle in December.
