Forecasts

Triple Trade (10/3), Ballybreeze (4/1), Calico (6/1), Guy (15/2), Do Your Job (17/2), Coastguard Station (11/1), Gold Des Bois (12/1), Walk In Clover (14/1), No Risk Des Flos (14/1), Madara (16/1), Prince Escalus (33/1)

Given the way CALICO was shaping prior to falling in the Maghull Novices' at Aintree 7 months ago, he's not been overly punished by the handicapper and he's worth a chance to capitalise on return. Ballybreeze remains with plenty of improvement in him as a chaser, so he's regarded as a big danger, while Do Your Job can compete if he strips fitter for his return.
