Forecasts

Byker (3/1), Jazzy Matty (3/1), Sir Allen (10/3), Morning Soldier (11/2), Metamorpheus (7/1), Almuhit (9/1)

Verdict

Little to choose between all 6 on what they have achieved so far but BYKER left his hurdles bow well behind when winning a big-field maiden here so could be the answer. Metamorpheus has a similar profile to the selection so rates the main threat ahead of Jazzy Matty.

  1. BYKER (IRE)
  2. METAMORPHEUS (IRE)
  3. JAZZY MATTY (FR)
