Forecasts

Danboru (11/4), Royal Magic (4/1), Robin Des People (4/1), Cillian's Well (5/1), Red Devil Star (5/1), Miss Yeats (7/1), King Cnut (8/1), What A Laugh (10/1), Friary Gold (10/1), Arquebusier (12/1), Diligent (20/1), Boxer Beat (33/1)

A fiendishly difficult handicap this but the still lightly raced KING CNUT has more scope than most here and having already won over fences Chris Gordon's five year old gets the nod. Danboru keeps knocking on the door and should eventually gain a win off this sort of mark. Red Devil Star is another you can't write off.
