Forecasts

Little Rory Mac (11/8), Masters Apprentice (9/2), Ballyellis (5/1), Aintree My Dream (11/2), Destin D'Ajonc (8/1), Karakoram (10/1), Applesandpierres (20/1), Ball D'Arc (25/1), Ghost Serge (25/1)

Verdict

This is a particularly competitive affair, with a handful in with chances. Aintree My Dream is one of those, as is the consistent Ballyellis. However, that pair may be vulnerable to more lightly raced sorts. It is a matter of time before Destin D'Ajonc breaks his maiden duck given the eye-catching effort he posted last time out, while Masters Apprentice must be respected despite this looking a better contest on paper than the one he won on handicap debut. The suggestion is LITTLE RORY MAC who must defy an 11lb rise for shedding his maiden tag, but he couldn't have done that any easier. He is still lightly raced and remains open to plenty improvement.
  1. Little Rory Mac
  2. Ballyellis
  3. Destin D'Ajonc
