Forecasts

Minella Trump (7/4), Exelerator Express (9/4), Glenloe (4/1), Romain De Senam (6/1), Broken Quest (9/1)

A tricky contest to unravel despite the small field but preference is for EXELERATOR EXPRESS. Neil Mulholland's charge showed the benefit of a recent run to open his account for the season at Aintree last month and under these favourable conditions he must have an excellent chance of following up. Minella Trump was well placed to win an impressive 8 times from 9 starts (including 5-5 at this track) last season so he's put forward as the biggest threat, ahead of Romain de Senam.
