Forecasts

Drifts Away (10/3), Arctic Dawn (5/1), King Of Ithaca (13/2), Quandary (15/2), How Impressive (15/2), Jimmy Speaking (17/2), Brunel Nation (12/1), Giorgio M (16/1), Feel The Need (16/1), Way To Dubai (18/1), Vince Le Prince (20/1), Callianassa (25/1), Chola Empire (25/1), Ten Commitments (50/1)

The unexposed ARCTIC DAWN very much caught the eye at Chelmsford when last seen in November and he looks capable of winning a race of this nature. The thriving Drifts Away is high on the shortlist as he bids for a 4-timer, with How Impressive another to consider in a competitive event.
