Forecasts

Iron Will (2/1), Giambattista (10/3), Phutulicious (7/2), Joshua Hotsnake (4/1), Crested Eagle (7/1), Forest Jump (20/1), Bunting (20/1), Take To War (28/1), Duke Of Oxford (33/1)

JOSHUA HOTSNAKE should give a good account. Iron Will is top of the dangers, with Crested Eagle another to bear in mind.
