Forecasts

Monkfish (1/2), Latest Exhibition (7/2), Asterion Forlonge (7/1), Andy Dufresne (11/1), Janidil (28/1), Conflated (33/1), Fils D'oudairies (40/1), Assemble (66/1), Macgiloney (200/1)

Verdict

Last season's Albert Bartlett winner MONKFISH has taken very well to fences as expected, winning a Grade 1 on only his second start in this sphere when beating Latest Exhibition by 3 lengths here over Christmas, and can confirm the placings over this shorter trip. Of the others, Andy Dufresne remains an exciting prospect and shouldn't be taken lightly at this level.
