Forecasts

Notice To Close (5/4), Keep The Peace (15/2), Young Dev (17/2), A Girl Like Me (10/1), Moyode Gold (11/1), Fenno's Storm (12/1), Lalipour (12/1), Bold Assassin (14/1), Classic Concorde (14/1), Frankly All Talk (16/1), Owl Creek Bridge (16/1), Major Destination (16/1), Cappacurry Zak (16/1), Robbies Magic (33/1), Miss Oriental (50/1), Lisclogher Flyer (200/1)

CAPPACURRY ZAK is as big a post-Christmas fixture as cold turkey, his form figures at this meeting since 2016 reading 1121 (including a first and second in this race). He's not getting any younger but looks primed for a good run off his lowest mark for years after an eye-catching display over C&D earlier this month. Keep The Peace and Moyode Gold, both winners last time out, are two dangers.
