Forecasts

Barel Of Laughs (8/13), Real Milan (8/1), Murrayana (10/1), The Wealerdealer (11/1), Ni Sin E Mo Ainm (16/1), Numbercruncher (16/1), Talkonthestreet (18/1), Curraigflemens (20/1), Iron Chancellor (33/1), Beggar's Velvet (33/1), Vincitore (40/1), Arkose (50/1), The Rodeo Clown (100/1)

This revolves around BAREL OF LAUGHS who boasts the one outstanding piece of form in his Cheltenham Festival third in March. He went off at 100-1 that day, but he has won since so it was probably not a fluke and anything like a repeat of that effort would see him prevail. Talkonthestreet and Murrayana should go well, but perhaps the main danger may come from The Wealerdealer.
