Forecasts

Shandancer (3/1), Modreeney (10/3), Magnetic Zero (10/3), Back Yourself (7/2), Tchoupinminzac (11/2), Midnight Our Fred (14/1), Ximli (16/1), Cherrywood (33/1)

MAGNETIC ZERO fits the bill on paper and could make a successful start under Derek O'Connor. Modreeney and Shandancer have both shown enough in similar events to suggest they can play a part.
