Forecasts

Exoplanet (5/2), Bussento (10/3), Lieber Power (10/3), Classic Speed (13/2), Feud (11/1), Conquistador (14/1), Uncle (14/1), Bauhinia Rhapsody (22/1), Youm Zaman (40/1), Gasman (40/1), Bodorgan (66/1), Inverinate (80/1), Autolycus (125/1), City Cyclone (150/1), El Pequeno Pulpo (200/1)

The market should reveal plenty here but Andrew Balding has an excellent recent record in this event and his LIEBER POWER, who is bred to be at least useful, is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of another well-related newcomer in the shape of Exoplanet who also holds a Derby entry. Bussento looks the pick of those with experience and can claim minor honours.
