Forecasts

Star Performer (6/5), King Of The Gauls (7/2), Beamonesque (8/1), The Shepherd (8/1), Champonelle (10/1), Teerex (11/1), Sovereign State (12/1), Ubisika (22/1), Bomber Stream (22/1), Sugar Blast (33/1), Long Story Short (33/1), Topofthemountain (33/1)

STAR PERFORMER is the one to beat judged on the form book and is well up to taking this plenty in hand. Champonelle is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Ubisika is another with place prospects too.
