Forecasts

Ghost Rider (2/7), Driftwood (8/1), Waltzing (17/2), Johnny Boom (10/1), Mellys Flyer (14/1), Caprese Girl (28/1), Mutakaamil (28/1), Blue Galaxy (125/1)

GHOST RIDER shaped well amidst greenness when second on his debut here last week and has to the considered the one to beat with improvement forthcoming. Waltzing didn't look the finished article at Wolverhampton in November, so may do better still for his new yard, while newcomers Mellys Flyer and Johnny Boom require market checks.
