Forecasts

Asterion Forlonge (5/2), Kemboy (3/1), Minella Indo (11/2), Frodon (11/2), Janidil (7/1), Delta Work (12/1), Conflated (18/1), Cilaos Emery (50/1)

KEMBOY gets the nod to build on his good run in the Savills here over Christmas and land this for the second year running. The vote for the forecast spot goes to Minello Indo, who can't have been right in the King George at Kempton (cheekpieces and going right-handed both possible excuses) and is worth one more chance to show he's still capable of form approaching last season's Gold Cup win.
