Forecasts

Symbol Of Honour (13/8), Two Tribes (5/1), West Acre (5/1), Yotarid (6/1), Arabie (10/1), The Strikin Viking (10/1), Rebel's Gamble (16/1), Run Boy Run (25/1), Dark Saffron (28/1), Apollo One (28/1), Power Mode (33/1), Lamborghini Bf (50/1), Great Wish (66/1), Shootout (66/1), Kubrick (66/1)

A competitive listed race and TWO TRIBES is narrowly favoured to prevail. West Acre is the chief danger if away on terms this time, while C&D specialist Symbol Of Honour is also one to take seriously.
