Forecasts

Croachill (1/5), Temporize (9/4), Melek Alreeh (11/2), Big Cheese (10/1)

A fascinating novice despite the small field but preference is for CROACHILL, who coped better than her 2 rivals with the test of speed when scoring over 1¼m at this track last month, and with further improvement on the cards, Roger Varian's filly can take her record to 2-3. Temporize looked a good staying prospect in making a winning start at Wolverhampton and he shades the vote for second over Melek Alreeh.
