Forecasts

Don Diablo (1/1), Hes A Hardy Bloke (5/2), Stowaway John (11/2), Youwontsnatchmenow (16/1), Double Jubilee (16/1), Quirt Evans (18/1), Pope Liam (20/1), Corbin (40/1), Full Swing (40/1), Popular Lane (100/1), Allez George (100/1), Adele Co (150/1), Ailbyalabi (150/1), Allez Monk (200/1)

DON DIABLO presumably hasn't been the easiest to train, but he's displayed clear ability in a point and bumper so far, finding only one too good on each occasion, and he looks the way to go. Hes A Hardy Bloke suffered a narrow defeat on reappearance 12 days ago and is the obvious danger, with Double Jubilee also of interest.
