Forecasts

Clay Rogers (1/12), King's Proctor (5/4), Island Nation (13/2), Etoile Rebelle (10/1), Tuff McCool (18/1), Ali Star Bert (125/1)

KING'S PROCTOR shaped better than the bare result suggests at Cartmel 4 days ago having won the battle with the long-time leader only to succumb to a budding stayer, so with better still to come from him as a hurdler, he receives the vote. Clay Rogers is feared most out of the Olly Murphy-trained pair.
