Forecasts

Captain Fox (9/4), Akho Mezzna (3/1), Victory Ace (7/2), Dagger Strike (5/1), Toastmaster (11/2), Gizmo (25/1), Wise Crack (28/1), Crazee Icon (33/1), Glittering Show (100/1), Cortado Girl (125/1), Querida Anna (500/1)

Verdict

CAPTAIN FOX caught the eye when fifth at Kempton on debut 10 weeks ago and is taken to find the required improvement with this extra 1f sure to suit. Akho Mezzna sets the standard and should be bang there again, while well-connected newcomer Gizmo needs keeping an eye on.
