Forecasts

Young Churchill (10/11), Friary Road (9/4), Buddy One (4/1), So Golden (16/1), Arch Hall (20/1), An Realt Is Gile (66/1), Rosemount (66/1), Whosethebestboy (80/1)

YOUNG CHURCHILL boasts the best form on offer here and arrives on back of a victory over hurdles earlier this month. He can land the finale. Friary Road and Buddy One look the likeliest dangers.
