Forecasts

Vive Le Roi (11/8), Ascendant (15/8), Ulysses (7/2), Roman Numeral (16/1), Changing The Guard (50/1), Geni Johnson (50/1)

A modest start to the racing year at the track and ASCENDANT, who has been running well in sellers and claimers, can add further success to his CV. Ulysses is at the other end of the age spectrum and showed enough on his hurdles debut in September to suggest that he can have a say at this level, especially in receipt of well over a stone from the selection. Vive Le Roi is another likely to get involved now dropping to this level for the first time.
