Forecasts

Sporting Boy (11/4), Beneficial Joe (4/1), Western Climate (9/2), Muthabir (9/2), Solway Dandy (11/2), Winterfell (7/1), Oh Land Abloom (7/1), Royale Knight (7/1)

Top weight Oh Land Abloom should make his presence felt and Winterfell is interesting on his return from a long absence, but both are opposable so MUTHABIR is the selection following his decent effort over C&D last time in the hope that the run has brought him on. Sporting Boy, Solway Dandy and Beneficial Joe are others to consider.
