Forecasts
Boldmere (5/2), The Kings Writ (11/4), Fidux (10/3), Didero Vallis (5/1), Fagan (9/1)
This can go the way of THE KINGS WRIT, who snapped a 4-year losing run with a narrow success at Warwick on New Year's Eve, and having bumped into one still well ahead of his mark at Hereford since, he's fancied to resume winning ways returned to veterans' company. Boldmere looks the pick of Alex Hales's pair so he heads up the dangers, with Fidux rounding off the shortlist.
