Forecasts

Calett Mad (7/4), Vision Des Flos (3/1), On The Blind Side (9/2), Poetic Rhythm (9/2), Momella (7/1), Aye Aye Charlie (40/1)

Poetic Rhythm looks much the best of his stable's two runners and is respected, a remark which applies to Calett Mad despite the suspicion this trip might be on the sharp side. Momella has to enter calculations in receipt of the mare's allowance, but this may be fought out by VISION DES FLOS and On The Blind Side. The selection is the choice of three entries from his powerful yard and is clearly held in some regard. He can step up markedly on his debut run over hurdles at Chepstow.
