T: N & W Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Forecasts

Victorias Peak (8/11), Gingembre Menthe (6/5), Liloo D'ores (10/3), Coldstream (5/1), Lockandload (6/1), Harry D'alene (10/1), Doyen Street (28/1), Thistle Do (50/1), Illico De Moutiers (50/1), Stoney Street (80/1), Cabayo Lord George (80/1), Claude Almighty (150/1), Earth Spirit (200/1)

GINGEMBRE MENTHE is the clear pick on his best form and has to get the nod. Coldstream can give him most to think about, ahead of Harry d'Alene.
