Forecasts
Javert Allen (13/8), Teddy Blue (10/3), Beau Balko (10/3), Ballybreeze (17/2), Jetronic (12/1), Major Fortune (12/1)
JAVERT ALLEN can consider himself unlucky not to be unbeaten over fences, ridden perhaps a shade too aggressively when narrowly denied at Chepstow last month. With further progress on the cards, he can regain the winning thread at the expense of Major Fortune, who left his chasing debut effort well behind when finding just one too good at Leicester recently. Teddy Blue, who did plenty wrong when scoring at Kempton last week, completes the shortlist.
