Forecasts

Hombre De Guerra (7/4), Hazy Glen (2/1), Ridin Solo (4/1), Ayiko (5/1), Tommys Law (22/1), Reforme (40/1), Aldbourne (50/1), Balfour Girl (200/1), Flying Sandpiper (250/1), Suleiman Artist (400/1)

The form of HAZY GLEN's close second at Newcastle at the end of January has received a few boosts since and he's the one to beat dropping back in trip. Course bumper winner Ayiko is a possible threat if taking to his new discipline, while Ridin Solo and Hombre de Guerra have been placed in similar events this season and should be competitive again.
