Forecasts

Aston Martini (10/3), Classic King (10/3), Saint Anapolino (11/2), Double Powerful (7/1), Josh The Boss (15/2), Irish Hill (10/1), Chasing Fire (12/1), West Balboa (16/1), The Gray Ghost (16/1), Pyramid Place (33/1)

A really good handicap. SAINT ANAPOLINO is taken to defy a 7 lb rise for last month's C&D success and make it 4 in a row but there are plenty of possible dangers, headed by the prolific Double Powerful, who was arguably a bit unlucky not to complete a remarkable 7-timer at Ascot when last seen just before Christmas. Aston Martini and the reliable Irish Hill complete the shortlist.
