Forecasts

Cornerstone Lad (2/5), Teescomponents Lad (3/1), Excalibur (12/1), Pc Dixon (16/1), Fighting Back (66/1)

The maiden Pc Dixon is in decent shape at present, but he faces an almost impossible task at these weights with both Teescomponents Lad and CORNERSTONE LAD. That duo have previous C&D heavy ground experience, with the selection a winner on hurdling debut in November. He's improved rapidly since then, and this represents a sharp drop in grade from the Class 2 Victor Ludorum Juvenile at Haydock last month (beaten a nose).
