Forecasts

Cosmos D'ainay (11/4), Arctic Flame (10/3), Sharp As Glass (11/2), Flip Away (9/1), Alaskan View (10/1), Installment (11/1), Pottersville (14/1), Minella Sergeant (14/1), Jacadi St Georges (14/1), Ballinaboola Jet (18/1), Shudawudacuddagh (20/1), Astley (28/1), Red Or White (50/1), Lion Of The Desert (100/1), Nohilltoosteep (125/1)

This could go to a newcomer, with SHARP AS GLASS selected before market clues. Flip Away is another to consider, while £165,000 point winner Cosmos d'Ainay is entitled to be in the mix having seen his race come to an end through no fault of his own here 3 weeks ago.
