Forecasts

Bresson (5/6), Remarquee (5/1), Shaaden (13/2), Walk The Moon (8/1), Strike Alliance (17/2), Hale End (18/1), Finest Leader (20/1), What A Whopper (33/1), Obama Army (50/1), Madam Pickle (150/1), Ashmore (150/1), Ectocross (150/1)

BRESSON is bordering on useful so should prove tough to beat despite a penalty. It would be no surprise if one of the newcomers were to emerge as the biggest threat, with Remarquee and Strike Alliance making most appeal before market clues.
