Forecasts

Keskonrisk (6/5), Indigo Breeze (7/4), Innovated (7/1), Grand Cru Chatho (11/1), Still Standing (14/1), Gain De Cause (20/1), Moonshot (40/1), Tirmizi (50/1), Peter Pat (66/1), Gold Creek (80/1), Macs Charm (100/1), Justbecool (100/1), Womalko (125/1), Saga Aravis (125/1), Iknownothing (300/1), Mater Matuta (300/1), Dont Say A Thing (300/1), Howyated (400/1)

KESKONRISK changed hands for big money following his C&D bumper win in January, so it will be disappointing if this half-brother to useful hurdler Grand Sancy can't go on to better things over obstacles. Fellow bumper winner Indigo Breeze and newcomer Innovated are considered the main threats.
