Forecasts

Theinval (9/4), Value At Risk (5/1), Romain De Senam (6/1), Guitar Pete (6/1), Full Glass (12/1), Ballyhill (12/1), Sizing Platinum (16/1), Mercian Prince (18/1), Cracking Find (20/1), Monbeg River (25/1), Just Cameron (28/1), Katachenko (33/1)

Verdict

A tremendous race looks in prospect and a case can be made for most. Value At Risk has been given a great chance by the handicapper if everything falls right for him, whilst Cracking Find is progressing nicely and will not go down without a fight. Just Cameron will ensure this is run at a pace that will see Mercian Prince at his best, whilst Ballyhill may improve on these quicker conditions. Romain De Senam was impressive when landing some good bets at Chepstow and he looks the sort who has been laid out for a spring campaign. THEINVAL was runner-up in this last year and his latest effort at Aintree means he will be racing off a higher mark from next week. That makes him hard to oppose.
  1. Theinval
  2. Romain De Senam
  3. Value At Risk
