Forecasts

Ami Desbois (2/5), Just Minded (9/4), An Laoch (33/1), Thomas Todd (50/1)

Verdict

It's a rare phenomenon to see an Albert Bartlett runner at Newcastle in April, but AMI DESBOIS is a most welcome inclusion to the card. He is well ahead of these rivals on official ratings, and despite conceding weight all round with penalties incurred for his Hexham, Haydock and Musselburgh hurdles victories, he should make it a fourth career success with relatively few concerns. Just Minded is the obvious forecast option, but rules newcomer An Laoch is one to keep an eye upon for the future.
