Forecasts

Musbaq (6/4), Elixsoft (4/1), Dalawyna (9/2), Ventura Gold (11/2), Patty Patch (9/1), Viking Way (12/1)

Elixsoft wasn't all that dissimilar to a few of these rivals until hitting an unexpected vein of form in early January. She is now viewed as a tough, front runner who deserves her place towards the fore of the market. However, she might well prove vulnerable to an improving horse. Musbaq was with Mark Johnston as a juvenile, and this 7f test looks much more suitable than 1m on Fibresand with the benefit of hindsight, but preference is for DALAWYNA. She posted a pleasing seasonal/AW debut at Wolverhampton last month when beaten just over 1L by Regina Nostra, and she rates as a likely handicap debut winner on what could prove to be a profitable evening for her trainer Kevin Ryan.
