Forecasts

First Principle (1/12), Ettore (13/2), Tenbob Tommy (20/1), Zucayan (28/1), Grey Selkie (100/1), Signore Enzo (150/1)

FIRST PRINCIPLE holds much the best form on show and is impossible to oppose in his bid to make it 2-3. Fergal O'Brien's winning hurdler Zucayan appeals as the one to chase home William Haggas' son of Kingman, ahead of Ettore.
