Forecasts

Captain Morgs (5/6), Ajero (10/11), Canastero (50/1)

Nicky Henderson often runs a good horse in the Ascot novice hurdle CAPTAIN MORGS captured last time so this 4-y-o has to be considered a smart prospect and he's narrowly preferred to Ajero who also looked one with a bright future when scoring decisively at Ludlow last month.
