Forecasts

Gortmillish (9/4), Upping The Anti (9/4), Contemplatemyfaith (6/1), Cabhfuilfungi (6/1), Garincha (14/1), Oval Street (22/1), Sargent Snow (22/1), Mr Fred Rogers (25/1), Highermonarchy (33/1), Lead To The Local (33/1), Gallant Geronimo (40/1), Godfatherofharlem (50/1), Brakethro (50/1)

Following a runner-up effort on point debut, GORTMILLISH went one better in October and this well-bred 5-y-o looks an obvious candidate for this. Upping The Anti is also well related and having found only one too good himself on debut between the flags, has to be considered for his red-hot yard.
