Forecasts

Spirit Of Legend (2/1), Lightkeeper (3/1), Brucio (5/1), Clifftop (6/1), Listentillitellyea (13/2), Digby (15/2)

LISTENTILLITELLYEA is favoured at these weights so gets a tentative vote from Clifftop who also holds good form claims if on song. Spirit Of Legend can also have a say, especially if his jumping does not hold him back.
