Forecasts
Califet En Vol (5/4), Jax Junior (6/4), Junker D'allier (9/1), No Questions Asked (11/1), Secret Des Dieux (20/1), Block Rockin Beats (28/1)
The two with the most appealing profiles are JAX JUNIOR and Califet En Vol, with marginal preference for the former who was utterly dominant from the front at Doncaster and Ascot. There should be more to come from Lucy Wadham's charge and he can take this step up in class in his stride. The form of Califet En Vol's Newbury second received a sizeable boost when the winner followed up in a Grade 1 over Christmas and he is the clear main danger ahead of Secret des Dieux.
