Forecasts

Redicean (11/8), Kings Inn (7/4), Salix (2/1), Haulani (7/2), Ray's The Money (8/1), Towie (9/1), First Quest (33/1), King Cnut (50/1)

None of the three with hurdles form make a huge amount of appeal so newcomers for a host of powerful yards are the ones best to concentrate on. Paul Nicholls has an excellent record in this race and his 100,000 Euro purchase KINGS INN gets the vote. Alan King also knows what it takes to win this so his Redicean is high on the list. Salix has been bought by the shrewd Munir and Souede partnership so he too is well respected.
