Forecasts

Babyken (11/8), Way Of Stars (2/1), Gnomon (5/2), Great Dance (8/1), Bamber (28/1), King Berry (66/1), American Trio (100/1), Follow The Plan (125/1), Governors Island (150/1), Famous Shoes (150/1), Gilded Glance (200/1), Cantalice (250/1)

Verdict

The pick of several appealing candidates is WAY OF STARS, who bettered his hurdles debut display when just missing out in a first-time hood over C&D last month, splitting a pair from the Paul Nicholls yard, including the re-opposing Babyken, who was a close-up third. Gnomon has shown plenty in his two starts in this sphere and he is feared most ahead of Babyken, while bumper winner Great Dance also enters calculations.
