Forecasts

Lucky Lad (11/10), Outlaw King (4/1), Red Bomber (17/2), Cliff Hanger (10/1), Guy Gibson (12/1), Egyptian Mau (18/1), Icy Blast (20/1), Warrior Of Royalty (22/1), The Africa House (25/1), Let The Flag Fly (33/1), The Abdicator (33/1)

Verdict

LUCKY LAD formwise has a clear edge and is well up to winning this readily. Cliff Hanger could emerge as the main danger, while Warrior Of Royalty could also get a look-in.
