Forecasts

Bandsman (1/1), Hidden Cargo (10/3), Ballycamp (5/1), Royal Supremo (15/2), Monar Rose (20/1), Boy In A Bentley (20/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but Dan Skelton's BANDSMAN appears the safest option having shown himself to be on top of his game when winning over hurdles last week. If Royal Supremo is fully fit then he would have to have a chance despite having to concede weight all round, while it wouldn't surprise to see Hidden Cargo prove much better at this game, a comment that also applies to Boy In A Bentley.
