Forecasts

Eponina (11/10), Al Reeh (6/1), Golden Guest (6/1), Blaze Of Hearts (8/1), Buckland Beau (8/1), Ski Blast (10/1), Muirsheen Durkin (14/1), La Sioux (33/1)

The return to faster ground should help Golden Guest get very competitive again, while Al Reeh would be interesting if able to reproduce his best AW efforts on turf. Ski Blast clearly can't be written off, but it is of some concern that he has not been seen for almost a year and resumes from 6lb higher, while La Sioux is back on a winning mark and has a squeak. However, EPONINA is not fully exposed and, although she will need some improvement, she should go very close.
