Forecasts

Eyed (15/8), Magical Escape (4/1), Peejaybee (11/2), Knockanore (11/2), Awaythelad (8/1), Giovanni Change (9/1), Jeffery's Cross (12/1), Geryville (14/1), Rock Danse (18/1), Gold Link (25/1), Just Loose Change (33/1), Chosen Templar (33/1)

Save for his early exit last time, EYED has made a very positive start for this yard and a 9 lb rise for his breakthrough success over fences here in November may not be enough to stop him. Jeffery's Cross put in a decent shift back from a lengthy absence at Windsor and he is greatly respected, while Geryville and Awaythelad have both edged down to attractive marks and will be dangerous if on-song.
