Forecasts

Chasing Fire (4/6), Iliko D'olivate (5/2), Getaway Drumlee (6/1), Stenatee (10/1), Odin's Quest (25/1), Blue Ridge Hill (33/1), Dr Hegarty (200/1)

A likely match between CHASING FIRE and Iliko d'Olivate, who both look very promising. Preference however is for the former, who maintained his unbeaten record in impressive fashion at Market Rasen on Boxing Day, whilst again giving the strong impression there's much better still to come.
