Forecasts

Kadastral (9/4), Etna Bianco (9/4), Frontier Prince (11/4), Bebe And Bean (9/2), Kiwi Rush (8/1), Vol Royale (11/1), Harksman (66/1), Monansunu (100/1), Oh My Guinness (125/1)

BEBE AND BEAN gets the nod to build on a promising opening run at Southwell in December. Dan Skelton has an excellent 20-62 record in bumpers this season so a market mover for his newcomer Kadastral would make him a potential big threat. Frontier Prince and Kiwi Rush are others likely to have a say.
