Forecasts

Zalvados (5/4), Veinard (2/1), Raise A Spark (4/1), Effet Special (15/2)

ZALVADOS has been in good form in slightly stronger company and this gives him an ideal opportunity to get off the mark over fences. Raise A Spark is generally reliable and looks the main threat with Veinard in with a shout if he can cut out his jumping errors.
