Forecasts

Rapper's Delight (9/4), Spitzbergen (5/2), Crestofdistinction (3/1), Spy Chief (6/1), Champion Again Ole (11/1), Takteek (25/1), Amica (33/1), Getreadytorumble (50/1), Marty Hopkirk (50/1), Atmosphere (100/1), Al Baarez (125/1), Sprinter (125/1)

Greenness and a wide trip only just prevented SPITZBERGEN from making a winning debut at Chelmsford in November and can make amends with that experience under his belt. Rapper's Delight and Crestofdistinction are big threats on form, while well-bred newcomers Champion Again Ole and Spy Chief need keeping an eye on.
