Forecasts

Benefaktor (2/1), Definite Dilemma (10/3), Hotel Du Nord (9/2), Hadmeathello (15/2), Captain McGinley (9/1), Getting Closer (12/1), Guttural (12/1), Ryans Fancy (33/1), Earcomesbob (66/1), Milberry (100/1), Corbett Court (100/1)

Verdict

Will Biddick landed the big one with Porlock Bay at the Festival here in March and he looks to have a strong hand in this with HOTEL DU NORD and Definite Dilemma, the former getting the vote. The well-bred Benefaktor has been showing up well in points and is another interesting contender.
