Forecasts

Verdict

ALNILAM made it 2 wins from 4 starts over hurdles when successful at Kelso on his stable debut, in control when making a bad mistake at the last, and he remains capable of better as he makes the switch to handicaps. The 5-y-o is preferred to fellow handicap-debutant Meatloaf, while Petit Tonnerre is interesting with the return to this longer trip likely to suit.
