Forecasts
As The Fella Says (9/4), Timmy Tuesday (5/2), Sorceleur (11/4), Excelero (4/1), Top Guy (50/1), Reel Orange (50/1)
None of these can be ruled out but SORCELEUR's form is on an upward curve so Paul Nicholls' son of Saint Des Saints gets the vote on the back of his excellent Taunton second last time out. Irish challenger Timmy Tuesday opened his account at Ayr last month and rates a big danger though, while As The Fella Says and Excelero also have the form to play a part in an intriguing maiden.
