Forecasts

Little Windmill (2/1), Instingtive (2/1), Kentford Myth (9/4), Lord Aldervale (9/1), Secret Sting (22/1)

With doubts about a few of these, not least in terms of their temperament, it may be worth chancing LORD ALDERVALE on his first start for 11 months. He's likely to try and make all here and just looks the most straightforward option in race full of ifs and buts. Kentford Myth needs to prove this trip suits as well as shorter but may plug on for second. Little Windmill at least knows how to win but it all depends what side of bed he gets out of.
