Forecasts

Apologise (9/4), Thereisnodoubt (4/1), Perseus Way (5/1), Bashful (11/2), Medieval Gold (8/1), Freddy Robinson (11/1), Mack The Man (12/1)

Cases can be made for most of the septet, but the suggestion is MEDIEVAL GOLD, who matched his previous exploits over hurdles switched to a handicap when third on return at Haydock in December and Micky Hammond's 5-y-o remains unexposed in this discipline. Apologise is thriving at present, so he heads up the dangers in search of an impressive 4-timer, with Bashful and Freddy Robinson taken to fight out minor honours.
