Forecasts

Moliwood (11/8), Galahad Threepwood (4/1), Winklevi (7/1), Monsaraz (8/1), Potenza (17/2), Captain Haddock (17/2), Raiff (14/1), Battle Of Marathon (125/1)

MONSARAZ comes here at the top of his game and can boast a course win too so is fancied to emerge on top in a competitive handicap. The returning Potenza is feared most in his hat-trick attempt, with in-form duo Galahad Threepwood and Winklevi also figuring high on the shortlist.
