Forecasts

Jaycols Star (2/1), Good Shot Sir (9/4), Lord Caprio (3/1), Weinberg (8/1), Enforcement (9/1), Blue Petal (22/1)

LORD CAPRIO is the only one of these to win more than once on the Flat and he is taken to make a winning debut over hurdles in this juvenile contest. Weinberg represents a top jumps yard and is taken to claim second ahead of Blue Petal who is a half-sister to a placed hurdler.
