Forecasts

Court Royale (9/4), Lomachenko (5/2), Grey Diamond (7/2), Le Ligerien (8/1), Leaving Home (10/1), Marmalade Mist (12/1), Boomarang (14/1), Hillary C (18/1), Big 'n Better (18/1), List One (25/1), Fearnie Lou (66/1)

Plenty newcomers that catch the eye but the vote goes to COURT ROYALE, who showed a good deal of promise on debut at Huntingdon in November and can land this prize on return if making the most of that experience. Lomachenko, Grey Diamond and Marmalade Mist are respected for top yards while the long-absent Hillary C should be paid some attention for the Twiston-Davies clan.
