Forecasts

Comfort Line (3/1), Prince Of Eyeries (4/1), Pinball Wizard (4/1), Tofino (9/1), Distillate (9/1), Akeela (10/1), Ina Mina (10/1), Mother Mara (10/1), Roman Harry (12/1), Reponse Finale (14/1), Nezeeh (25/1), Feature This (40/1), Razzam (50/1), Sassy Sox (66/1), Rene Artois (80/1)

This can go to COMFORT LINE, who has largely been in good form this year and is favoured by the conditions of this contest. Pinball Wizard and Ina Mina may provide the chief threat.
