Forecasts

Mica Malpic (10/3), Capture The Drama (9/2), Bitview Colin (7/1), Secret Cargo (8/1), Four Country Roads (8/1), Three Loud Knocks (9/1), Trickey Trix (10/1), Money Heist (10/1), Crimson Chief (11/1), Steps Match (14/1), Top Question (14/1), Mamaslittlestar (14/1), My Oakclahome (16/1), Rudy Catrail (18/1), Fahrenheit De Lecu (18/1), Greenway Machine (20/1), Lawlor's Choice (25/1)

MONEY HEIST is an ex-pointer who has shaped encouragingly over fences to date, so he could prove to be well ahead of an opening mark of 97. He gets the nod over Trickey Trix, while market support for Mica Malpic would look significant.
