Forecasts

Grand Jury (5/4), Fameaftertheglory (10/3), Jalkadam (9/2), Stilyker (11/1), Universal Dave (14/1), Diamboy Des Carres (16/1), Tommy Dillion (20/1), Adventure Bay (25/1), Devonian Rock (40/1), Jj The Yes Man (80/1), Seventhreeseven (200/1)

Point-winner FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY fetched 6 figures at the sales so looks a likely type. Grand Jury is another who makes plenty of appeal on paper having won a point on debut in November, while Jalkadam hails from a powerful yard and has an eye-catching pedigree.
