Forecasts

Al Shahir (4/5), Ballasalla (5/1), Anywaythewindblows (11/2), Judge Earle (11/1), Mathayus (14/1), Wig Wam Wiggle (20/1), Dali Mail (28/1), Getonsam (33/1)

Verdict

Mathayus may be capable of going well on debut, while the same can be said of Ballasalla who should be capable of getting involved. Al Shahir is the one to beat on racecourse form and a win would be no surprise, though the suggestion is ANYWAYTHEWINDBLOWS. Nicky Richards' charge is of good jumping stock and the trainer has a tremendous record in bumpers here, while his runners are generally going very well at present. 1. Anywaythewindblows 2. Al Shahir 3. Ballasalla
