Forecasts

Brianstorm (10/11), Djin Conti (15/8), Ey Up Rocky (9/2), Another Crick (16/1), Irish Prince (25/1), Voodoo Doll (28/1), Blue Sire (66/1), Ballina Lady (100/1), Bombay Rascal (150/1), Off The Scale (200/1)

Verdict

Any support in the betting for French import Djin Conti would be worth noting with his yard in good shape at the moment. Another Crick can be forgiven his tame finish on New Year's Day at Exeter given he was too keen early on and may put that behind him while Ey Up Rocky might have had plenty to say on jumping debut at Huntingdon last month had his run not come to an abrupt end. He is one to note but BRIANSTORM has offered enough encouragement in two outings over timber to suggest he'll get off the mark sooner rather than later. Gavin Sheehan is in superb form of late (6-14) and can notch another winner here.
