Forecasts

Venture Capital (13/8), Grandlad (2/1), Classy Al (5/2), Arctic Voyage (4/1), Moonstone Boy (8/1), Alaskan Gold (10/1)

CLASSY AL isn't the easiest of conveyances but he arrives in fine form and can defy a 3 lb weights rise to complete a quick hat-trick. The Iain Jardine-trained duo Arctic Voyage and Moonstone Boy appeal as the chief dangers and can chase him home in that order.
