Forecasts

Pontresina (7/4), Trixster (5/2), Roses Poses (7/1), Ballyellis (7/1), Three County's (7/1), Little Miss Darsi (8/1), General Allenby (10/1), Casemates Square (14/1), Damier (50/1)

Verdict

Trixster would hold a great chance on his unlucky Chepstow run where he looked booked to win, only to capitulate at the last, but a subsequent middling effort and this quicker ground are concerns. PONTRESINA impressed in the paddock before his much-improved third at Kempton and he could be one to follow this year. Good ground will be essential to his chance but he has scope to do much better this year. The market is likely to prove informative as to the chances of the likes of Ballyellis, Three County's and Roses Poses.
