Forecasts

Fontana Ellissi (9/4), Ajero (11/4), Timberman (3/1), Restandbethankful (6/1), Zambezi Fix (7/1), Langer Dan (17/2), Birds Of Prey (14/1), Mack The Man (16/1)

Verdict

This is stronger than the Ffos Las handicap FONTANA ELLISSI landed last time, but he remains on an attractive mark and should be capable of holding his own at this higher level. With Langer Dan's connections presumably using this race as a stepping-stone ahead of bigger targets, Ajero, who has edged back to his last winning mark, and Timberman may emerge as the main dangers.
