Forecasts

Leabaland (4/1), Zonik (5/1), Je T'ai Porte (5/1), Malaysian (6/1), Suityourselfboss (7/1), War Hero (17/2), Swiss Army Officer (9/1), Rosie Rock (10/1), Circles (11/1), Peppermint Bay (12/1), Kampala Beach (16/1), Colonel Slade (22/1), Lisabetta (25/1), Gormanston (33/1), The Peckhampouncer (66/1), Barney Rubbles (66/1), Dulargy Star (100/1)

Lots with chances and marginal preference is for WAR HERO who boasts a great course record and is back on a handy-looking mark now. C&D winner Leabaland and in-form Zonik appeal as the pick of the remainder and can chase home James McAuley's 7-y-o in that order.
