Forecasts

Ashington (15/8), Sebastopol (9/2), Miranda (5/1), Sir Chauvelin (5/1), Groveman (9/1), Kaizer (11/1), For Three (25/1), Raashdy (28/1), Seaborough (28/1), L'Inganno Felice (40/1)

Verdict

Last month's C&D winner Sir Chauvelin should go well again and his form brings Ashington right into the picture given he's now 5lb better off for a 3¾L defeat. Groveman should be fitter for the run at Sandown and couple play a hand but there was plenty to like about MIRANDA's Kempton success at Christmas and, given Paul Nicholls' sterling record at this venue, could be primed to follow up now.
  1. Miranda
