Forecasts

Keskonrisk (11/4), Ashdale Bob (3/1), Farouk D'Alene (7/2), Diol Ker (7/1), Champagne Gold (9/1), Everglow (12/1), Blue Sari (14/1), Velvet Elvis (14/1), Silver Sheen (28/1), Joshua Webb (28/1), Column Of Fire (28/1), Darrens Hope (33/1), Fangio De Vassy (66/1), Hardy Bloke (80/1), Carrolls Cottage (125/1), Krabat (200/1), The Dukes Nephew (250/1), Glen Ava (300/1)

A dual Grade 2 winner over hurdles, ASHDALE BOB was in the process of running well when falling 3 out on chase debut at Gowran last month. Jumping well up to that point, he's open to improvement in this sphere and earns the vote to come out on top. Low-mileage Farouk d'Alene is most interesting also now chasing on return and well worth a second look, ahead of Champagne Gold and Everglow.
