Forecasts

Foothold (10/11), Evenepoel (5/2), Allegrino (5/1), High Chieftain (5/1), Hurricane Ann (28/1), Portman Blue (66/1), Savvi Row (80/1), Anaba Girl (125/1), Harry Don't Bite (125/1)

HIGH CHIEFTAIN signalled he is ready to strike when a very good second at Wolverhampton last time out so edges the vote from Allegrino (second choice) and Foothold who both have the form to play a big part too. Chelmsford City scorer Evenepoel also merits plenty of respect in this open-looking novice.
