Forecasts

Pickamix (8/11), Alexander The Grey (11/4), Fadas (3/1), Cracking Find (9/2), West To Crossgales (20/1), Iskabeg Lane (33/1)

An interesting little race where Pickamix will rightly be popular with Harry Bannister back on board, while Fadas has perhaps her easiest task in Britain so far and the Sue Smith-trained pair are of interest for different reasons. Nonetheless, the suggestion is ALEXANDER THE GREY, who appeared to relish a step up beyond two miles and decent ground last time and that can prove to be a nice marker towards success today.
