Forecasts

Checkitout (11/8), Eaglehill (11/4), I See You Well (10/3), Cheque En Blanc (6/1)

CHECKITOUT was strictly below his best in the Silver Cup at Ascot in December yet that run came on the back of a big effort to finish third in the Becher at Aintree and, having been given a short break since, he could be worth siding with back in calmer waters. Eaglehill may well emerge as the chief threat.
