Forecasts

Quebecois (2/5), Personal Ambition (9/4), Old Cowboy (5/1), Leading Choice (25/1)

QUEBECOIS got firmly back on the up when second in the Timeform Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham last time and can make the most of a good opportunity on his way to better things. Old Cowboy was said to have bled in the aftermath of his Kempton fall but remains open to improvement nonetheless.
