Forecasts

Le Milos (3/1), Ashtown Lad (10/3), If Not For Dylan (10/3), Torn And Frayed (4/1), Smarty Wild (5/1), Straw Fan Jack (17/2), Numitor (16/1), Marown (22/1)

Verdict

This looks wide open but the vote goes to Dan Skelton's returning LE MILOS, who is building up an impressive record in veterans' company and also has a good record when fresh. Torn And Frayed is weighted to go well and rates a big threat though, especially if he can keep jumping errors to a minimum. If Not For Dylan, Numitor and Straw Fan Jack also need factoring in.

  1. LE MILOS
  2. TORN AND FRAYED (FR)
  3. IF NOT FOR DYLAN (IRE)
