Forecasts

Lord Bertie (11/4), Woven (10/3), Kelpie Grey (6/1), Wobwobwob (13/2), Hour By Hour (17/2), Station X (12/1), Cargin Bhui (14/1), Mister Sketch (14/1), Art Design (16/1), Rock Melody (20/1), Iris Dancer (150/1)

A few with chances but Michael Dods' WOVEN looks primed for a bold showing and rates just the pick of these weights too so gets the vote from recent C&D runner-up Lord Bertie. In-form duo Mister Sketch and Wobwobwob also need factoring in with Station X completing the shortlist.
