Forecasts

Gars Bar Dine (15/8), Mercian Knight (11/4), Et Moi Alors (11/2), Nessfield Blue (13/2), Talktomenow (15/2), Orchard Thieves (11/1)

None of these look especially solid, but ET MOI ALORS is at least open to improvement as a chaser and makes some appeal off a career-low mark. Gars Bar Dine finally opened his account here last time and is clear second choice ahead of Mercian Knight, who will need to improve for the fitting of blinkers if he's to have a meaningful say in the finish.
