Forecasts

Fox Leicester (5/2), Reggae Runner (9/2), Migration (6/1), House Of Kings (6/1), Reeves (13/2), Masaru (9/1), Ours Puissant (12/1), Starfighter (14/1), Lestrade (14/1), Loch Ness Monster (16/1), Red Bravo (16/1)

Always a tough contest to win this and likely a few of these will prove well above their current ratings in the coming months. One who certainly appeals as potentially well treated is FOX LEICESTER who won impressively on the AW last time out. Masaru impressed at Kempton and has a touch of class so he may provide the biggest threat while the running style of Lestrade suggests such a test might be ideal.
