Forecasts

Hermes Du Gouet (11/8), Propelled (7/2), Copper Cove (9/2), Astronomic View (5/1), Maximum Dex (5/1), Nollyador (7/1), Altobelli (8/1), Mr Snow Way (9/1), Belguardo (12/1), Jethro Said (14/1), Mountain Grey (33/1), Junior Doctor (33/1), Ginderella (40/1), Ellofagetaway (50/1), Benville Bridge (66/1)

An interesting bumper to conclude. HERMES DU GOUET gets the nod to build on his promising Haydock second in December but Copper Cove, Nollyador and Propelled have also shown promise when filling the runner-up spot in similar events so Venetia Williams' charge is unlikely to have things all his own way. Altobelli is a newcomer to note in the market.
