Forecasts

Djelo (9/4), Matata (11/4), Master Chewy (7/2), JPR One (6/1), Pembroke (13/2)

Verdict

None of the quintet can be ruled out but MATATA has taken to fences with real verve so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways after his excellent Cheltenham second. Venetia Williams' upwardly-mobile Djelo rates a big danger though in his bid to go 4-4 this term, while Jpr One and Pembroke can also have a say in a cracking Grade 2.
