Forecasts

Swaffham Bulbeck (13/8), Hooves Like Jagger (2/1), Fighting Poet (9/4), Tibbie Dunbar (9/1), Isayalittleprayer (9/1), Abstract (11/1), Ray's The One (16/1), Gold Souk (16/1), Presuming Ed (20/1), Ballet Blanc (28/1), Cheng Gong (50/1)

The in-form HOOVES LIKE JAGGER appears to be the obvious answer in a race where most of his rivals have something to prove. Swaffham Bulbeck is a danger returning to the Flat and Presuming Ed warrants a mention considering his jumps form makes a mark of 60 look appealing.
