Forecasts

Pals Battalion (7/4), Gundogan (4/1), Scarboroughwarning (4/1), Flowstate (6/1), Rascal Recknell (7/1), Bibendum (9/1), Court Drive (11/1), Wren Officer (16/1), Phoenix Moon (22/1), Ten Club (28/1), Biographer (40/1), Lochaber (100/1)

Lots with chances but the vote goes to GUNDOGAN who could take a step forward now fitted with a visor for the first time and is taken to bag a second win of the autumn. Recent C&D scorer Pals Battalion heads the list of dangers under a 6 lb penalty with handily-weighted duo Ten Club and Court Drive also in the picture.
