Forecasts

Prince Zaltar (11/4), Optional Mix (9/2), Kings Halo (5/1), Where's Frankie (6/1), Secret She Keeps (7/1), Street Value (7/1), Happy Dreams (12/1), Soloman Lane (12/1)

PRINCE ZALTAR is very well handicapped on hurdling form and this is a decidedly weak contest in which few arrive in form, so he's worth taking a chance on despite returning from an absence of 13 months. Optional Mix can make her presence felt if bouncing back from a poor run and market support for Secret She Keeps would look significant.
