Forecasts

Mountbatten (6/4), Mizzen You (13/8), Secret Army (7/1), Sonairt (10/1), Toomevara (12/1), Flag High (14/1), The Mouse King (16/1), Streaky Bay (18/1), Indieangelina (40/1), Wheresthebarbil (200/1), Dwyfran (250/1)

MOUNTBATTEN was first past the post over C&D on his debut and looks like the type to do better, so gets the verdict here. Mizzen You was consistent last autumn and should prove the main danger on form, whilst Sonairt should step forward from his recent debut third at Kempton.
