Forecasts

Winnebago (6/5), Dancing Terror (6/4), Express Train (4/1), Yielding To None (22/1), Celtic Diligence (250/1), Irishiko (300/1)

WINNEBAGO was beaten only by a couple of useful sorts when twice runner-up at Yarmouth in the autumn and this looks an excellent opportunity. Andrew Balding's newcomer Express Train may emerge as the biggest threat with Dancing Terror winning just an ordinary C&D novice on New Year's Eve.
