Forecasts

Stage One (13/8), Ardmayle (2/1), Never Up (11/4), Movie Legend (3/1), Contre Tous (8/1), The Herds Garden (14/1)

ARDMAYLE has made an excellent start to his chasing career and, while the handicapper has put him up 9lb, he remains unexposed and the one open to most improvement. He is therefore preferred to fellow hat-trick seeker Never Up, who is nonetheless very much feared. Stage One should also be involved, while Contre Tous would be very interesting if supported.
