Forecasts

Timeforatune (1/4), Mamoon Star (5/2), Ooh Betty (14/1), William Of York (14/1), Talimar Pearl (33/1), Royal Sam (33/1), Imperial Measure (40/1), Via Dante (66/1), Inspector Lynley (100/1), Champagne Gift (125/1), Bashful Kate (125/1), Blueblood (125/1)

While TIMEFORATUNE gave his supporters the occasional fright by wandering/hanging approaching his obstacles at Exeter, he was ultimately an impressive winner and is likely to prove hard to beat under a penalty. Indeed, the 6-y-o is probably capable of a good deal better in light of his smart bumper form, and the addition of cheekpieces looks a good move. Hurdles-debutant Mamoon Star is marginally preferred to Ooh Betty and William of York for forecast purposes.
