Forecasts

Tiberio Force (4/1), Pfingstberg (9/2), Churchella (11/2), It's How We Roll (11/2), Kells (15/2), Visitant (15/2), Ghostly (15/2), Foursome (9/1), Blazer Two (9/1), Odd Venture (20/1), Thomas Cranmer (33/1), Skedaddled (40/1), Lukla (50/1), Goodison Girl (100/1), Foshan (100/1)

A few with chances but TIBERIO FORCE signalled he's ready to go in again when runner-up at Catterick last time and can go one better off an unchanged mark. C&D winner Ghostly is also weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Pfingstberg and Blazer Two.
