Forecasts

Blizzard Of Oz (5/4), Any Road (15/8), Native Speaker (7/2), Ideal Du Tabert (6/1), Backtonormal (9/1), Bossofthebus (25/1), Big Dispute (25/1), Far Away West (33/1), Glorytogod Tom (125/1), Picinisco (150/1)

This can go to BLIZZARD OF OZ, who has acquitted himself well in all 3 starts in bumpers. Any Road looks the obvious danger on form, whilst Native Speaker may be the pick of the newcomers.
