Forecasts

Red Verdon (1/3), Mountain Bell (13/8), Calling Out (9/2), Great Hall (8/1), Celestial Path (20/1)

Celestial Path would be a big threat at his best, but comes with risks and is passed over along with Great Hall, who was in great form on turf last year but has to prove he is as effective on the AW. Calling Out has stamina to prove, so this is narrowed down to Red Verdon and MOUNTAIN BELL. The latter may prefer a little further, but can reverse Kempton placings on better terms if given a positive ride.
