Forecasts

The Ogle Gogle Man (13/8), Baron Du Plessis (11/4), Balkinstown (4/1), Hugos Horse (6/1), Sutter's Mill (9/1), Monsieur Arkadin (14/1), Midnight Owle (50/1)

The most likely winner is the handily-weighted Balkinstown. He won very well over hurdles at Plumpton last week and has some experience of the larger obstacles from his pointing days. It's probable that he's belatedly on an upward curve, but equally one could potentially question his reliability based upon his overall career form, so he's opposed at the projected odds with MONSIEUR ARKADIN who will almost certainly be out forcing the pace from an early stage.
