Forecasts

Mr Excellency (6/5), Bearaway (5/2), Mount Mayon (7/2), Ron O (11/2), Floating Rock (8/1), Asamosa (9/1), Prince Ali (28/1), Joeljalu (33/1), Jenson Benson (50/1), Bullet Tooth Tony (100/1), Strong Team (200/1), Pride Day (200/1)

MR EXCELLENCY defied greenness to make a winning start over 7f here in October and is sure to progress. He's preferred to Ron O, who left his debut well behind when runner-up at Redcar in the autumn. Fairly-useful hurdler Floating Rock wasn't seen to anything like best effect on his Flat debut at Newcastle and can leave that effort well behind in due course.
