Forecasts

Whatsnotoknow (2/5), Exit Poll (5/2), Harrie (11/4), Recent Revelations (15/2), Beating The Odds (16/1), Hazran (25/1), Buttons And Bows (40/1), Broder (50/1), Temptationinmilan (200/1), Hungry Tiger (200/1), Stealthy Tom (200/1), Masterstonemason (200/1), Hollybank King (250/1), Rockaway Beach (300/1)

The vote goes to WHATSNOTOKNOW, who ran to a useful level when splitting a pair of next-time-out winners here in November and is open to further improvement. Exit Poll has been held back by his jumping but retains potential as a chaser, as does Harrie, who is clear pick of the remainder.
