Forecasts

Genoah (1/1), Autocrat (7/2), Solar Breeze (11/2), Annaghmccanns (7/1), Church Mountain (14/1), Storm Eric (14/1), Tremaine (28/1)

A trappy finale in which a case can be made for most. GENOAH brings an unexposed profile to his handicap debut and is taken to add to November's C&D maiden success. Autocrat had plenty to spare here last time and is feared most ahead of Church Mountain, who was only seventh over 1½m last time but had won back to back over C&D prior to that.
