Forecasts

Billaway (5/2), Mighty Stowaway (10/3), It Came To Pass (11/2), Rocket Lad (11/2), Winged Leader (6/1), Aloneamongmillions (10/1), Stand Up And Fight (16/1), Auvergnat (18/1), Lite Duties (25/1), Sidetracked (50/1)

IT CAME TO PASS has a decent record fresh and was a good winner of the Foxhunter at Cheltenham so looks the one to beat. Billaway finished 10 lengths behind the selection at the Festival and may prove to be the biggest threat again, with Auvergnat and Aloneamongmillions others to consider.
