Forecasts

Cristal Spirit (11/10), Embole (11/2), Horatio Star (11/2), Hier Encore (7/1), Gris De Pron (8/1), Little Vern (9/1), Highway One (16/1), Jan Wellens (16/1), Flanagans Field (25/1), Jappeloup (100/1)

It's interesting that the Dan Skelton yard is persevering with EMBOLE so he might be worth chancing from his reduced mark. Gris de Pron is another who is well treated and has joined a yard which has been in good form so he rates a potential threat. Course-specialist Hier Encore is also on the shortlist.
