Forecasts

Fred (5/4), Wild Max (2/1), Sebastopol (4/1), Malystic (11/2), Jabbaar (14/1), Construct (16/1), County Fair (150/1)

Tom Lacey's Sebastopol is among a number of horses doubly declared at Musselburgh this weekend (entered in the 2.05pm on Saturday) which means that the full picture isn't available at the time of writing. Construct returns to the track seeking the hat-trick, while it would be foolish to completely dismiss the chances of Jabbaar and Malystic. However, the pair to concentrate upon are the unbeaten Wild Max (Paul Nicholls) and the fast-improving FRED (Nicky Henderson). The selection boasts the strongest form in the book courtesy of a Boxing Day win at Kempton, and therefore holds a strong chance on the assumption that drying conditions don't hinder.
