Forecasts

Kuraka (8/11), State Of The Art (8/1), Castle Howard (8/1), Randalls Ur Poet (9/1), Magen's Moon (14/1), Mastermind (20/1), Acclamatio (25/1), Fullmoon In Paris (33/1), Ingleby Mackenzie (33/1), Sil Ver Klass (33/1), Sonic Wind (33/1), Buffalo Blues (33/1), Go Guarantor (40/1), Callthebarman (40/1), Noble Intention (50/1), D K Travel (50/1), Ali's Girl (66/1), Joly Maker (66/1), Agatha Rose (100/1), Erquy (100/1)

The likes of Ingleby Mackenzie and Sonic Wind could take the field along here ensure a truly run contest. Fifth on maiden hurdle debut, Castle Howard and the improving Randalls Ur Poet can go well here but will find it difficult to get near the fancied KURAKA here.
