Forecasts

Afadil (8/15), Danton (7/2), Mammies Boy (9/1), Knowwhentorun (10/1), Atlantic Fleet (22/1), Tellairsue (25/1), Champagne Mesdames (28/1), Via Dante (50/1), Russies Dream (80/1)

This would appear to represent a good chance for the Paul Nicholls-trained French Flat recruit AFADIL to make a winning start over hurdles, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Danton had an excuse on hurdle debut and showed plenty of ability in a bumper prior to that so he's the obvious one for the forecast spot.
