Forecasts

Chirico Vallis (13/8), Never Equalled (3/1), Be My Sea (7/2), Star of Rory (9/1), Russian Service (12/1), Ulysses (16/1)

Chirico Valiris finally got his head back in front after two years since his last win and has been found a suitably easy opportunity to try and follow up, but given that big gap between victories, it would be a brave person to say he's a good thing at a likely short price. Never Equalled looks the obvious alternative but he has his own questions to answer and at a likely big price, it might be worth chancing BE MY SEA, who shaped nicely over an inadequate trip at Kempton and will appreciate this test today. Ulysses will be a big price too, but isn't without hope of getting in the shake-up either.
