Forecasts

Suttons Hill (6/4), Morning Soldier (6/4), Mister Wilson (16/5), Smokey Putnum (7/1), Humanitarian (17/2), Lisnamult Lad (10/1), Caradoc (16/1), Bromfield Fox (33/1), Toppy's Boy (66/1), Johnny M (80/1), Akaabir (80/1), Woodie Wango (80/1), Got Arc Eye (100/1), Callmedusty (100/1), Creggs Cross (100/1), Fox Leicester (125/1), Rushford (125/1), One Cool Citizen (150/1), Truckers Call (150/1), Jackevan (150/1), Champagne Saloon (200/1)

MORNING SOLDIER has the best form and arrives on the back of a solid effort at Killarney, so he gets the nod ahead of Suttons Hill, who is open to improvement. Mister Wilson looks the pick of the remainder but he has something to find.
