Forecasts

Dixieland (5/2), Lihou (10/3), Kinks (13/2), John Betjeman (13/2), Luchador (13/2), Disruptor (12/1), Gingersdunthelot (14/1), Sir Ox (25/1), Vena d'Amore (33/1), Arbuckle (100/1)

Mick Channon's yard have been in good form with their juveniles this season and his charge KINKS has a smart pedigree and may be the one to side with in a wide open event. John Betjeman finished behind one of Kinks' stablemates last time and ought to run well again with a talented apprentice in the saddle. Dixieland could prove to be the main danger to the selection given his yard's record with debutantes.
