Forecasts

Bal Kauto (6/5), Diamondinthemud (10/3), Tick Along (6/1), Go Battle (15/2), Lesssaidthebetter (10/1), Monoxide (11/1), Let Her Flow (50/1)

BAL KAUTO has been much improved since joining Declan Queally and can defy the handicapper again and complete a quick hat-trick. Last month's course hurdle winner Tick Along can fill the forecast spot ahead of Diamondinthemud.
