Forecasts

Pongo Twistleton (15/8), Vendredi Trois (10/3), Tell The Tale (4/1), Oakidoaki (9/2), Defining Year (9/2), Royal Battalion (12/1), Knight's Parade (16/1), Bare Necessities (25/1)

Some shrewd stables have representatives here. Royal Battalion is becoming dangerously well-handicapped, while Defining Year and Oakidoaki are weighted to make an impact. However, PONGO TWISTLETON could be the most leniently-weighted of the lot of them and looks primed to run a big race withn a tongue-tie attached for the first time. Tell The Tale is consistent and should run his race.
