Forecasts

Dragon Icon (7/2), Koy Koy (5/1), Apiarist (6/1), Billyb (6/1), Noble Order (6/1), Christian David (8/1), Cavalry Call (9/1), Dolce Courage (10/1), Nikovo (14/1), Dingle (14/1), Bless Him (16/1), Silent Move (22/1), Mcmanaman (25/1), Orbaan (50/1)

Lots with chances. BILLYB rates just the pick of these weights on the back of his good recent third here so gets the vote from Apiarist who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Doncaster last time out. Koy Koy is weighted to have a say, while others to consider are Silent Move and Christian David in this highly competitive event.
