Forecasts

Alkaamel (4/1), Hesslewood (4/1), Ideological (4/1), Two Blondes (7/1), Divinity (10/1), Mustadun (10/1), Metatron (10/1), Garrison Commander (12/1), Off Piste (12/1), Irv (33/1)

Verdict

The switch to turf and a 1lb turn around in the weights can help ALKAAMEL reverse earlier April form with Hesslewood, who is respected but lacks the previous turf form of the selection. Metatron also lacks experience of this surface but this £120,000 purchase has shown plenty of zest so far and could well rise above the challenge. Mustadun is another who is probably better than he showed last time and is rated as the best of the rest on this occasion.
  1. Alkaamel
  2. Metatron
  3. Mustadun
