Forecasts

Stans The Man (7/2), Esperti (4/1), Tommie Beau (9/2), Always Busy (5/1), Wicked Thoughts (10/1), Enjoy D'allen (10/1), Unanswered Prayers (10/1), Planned Paradise (16/1), Northern Poet (18/1), Stolen Silver (25/1)

Verdict

ALWAYS BUSY looks to be building up to something, finishing with running left behind Wicked Thoughts at Taunton last time, and he gets the vote. Paul Nicholls' charge can go well again, with last year's winner Stans The Man and the thriving Esperti also considered.

  1. ALWAYS BUSY (IRE)
  2. WICKED THOUGHTS (IRE)
  3. STANS THE MAN (IRE)
