Forecasts

Duhallow Tommy (11/4), Saladins Son (4/1), Centara (5/1), Range (5/1), Rock House (5/1), I Got Stung (8/1), Hammer Dan (9/1), Light Sentence (11/1), Uggy Uggy Uggy (25/1), Pigeon Hill (33/1), Captain Bill (33/1), Malago Rose (80/1), West Hill Moth (80/1), Mini Mildred (150/1)

This may well go to one of the likely-looking newcomers, with SALADINS SON possibly the pick of them. He fetched £95,000 after winning a maiden point in December and has joined a respected yard. Rock House, also successful on his sole start between the flags, is another appealing type, while Centara and Hammer Dan both need a close looking in the betting. Range is very much the pick of those with experience under Rules and merits respect, too.
