Forecasts

Lord Yeats (1/6), Big Bad Dream (13/2), Stander (12/1), Flaming Glory (40/1), Emirat De Catana (50/1), Sophie Fatale (66/1), Bobeska (250/1)

Very difficult to see beyond LORD YEATS who has already shown a reasonable standard of form over hurdles and in truth appears to be head and shoulders above his six rivals. The seemingly all too obvious forecast option is the Donald Whillans-trained Big Bad Dream.
