Forecasts

Great Esteem (13/8), Madeeh (7/2), Systemic (5/1), My Girl Maggie (5/1), Al Kout (6/1), Red Missile (50/1)

AL KOUT pulled a long way clear of the rest when edged out by a subsequent winner at Kempton in November so looks capable of defying a 4 lb rise. Low-mileage Great Esteem has made a positive start for this yard and remains of interest, while Madeeh and My Girl Maggie both look as good as ever.
