Forecasts

Classical Allusion (11/10), Pole Star (15/8), Caprelo (7/2), Maxident (5/1), Blazeon Five (11/2), Lavender Hill Mob (9/1), Francesco Baracca (33/1), Call My Bluff (40/1)

With no Constitution Hill to worry about this time, unexposed CLASSICAL ALLUSION can make his first start on turf/handicap debut a winning one. Pole Star shapes as though he should relish 2m and rates the main danger, with Caprelo not discounted on the back of a career-best performance on the all-weather in December.
