Forecasts

Division (2/7), Shahik (5/1), King Of Chaos (12/1), Fine Art Dealer (14/1), Ballybunion (20/1), Lifeguard (28/1), My Shagaf (33/1), Obsidian Verse (125/1), Superstorm (150/1)

Hard to see past DIVISION who won in good style at Haydock and could be smart. The two newcomers Ballybunion and My Shagaf are interesting on paper.
