Forecasts

Meatloaf (9/4), Bowenspark (7/2), Fire Flyer (4/1), Go To War (4/1), Masaccio (9/2), Aslukgoes (8/1), Ledders (12/1), Cape Vidal (16/1), Shinji (20/1), Brave Jen (40/1)

Preference is for MEATLOAF, who stepped up on his winning debut form when second in a Cheltenham listed bumper last month and likely has more to offer yet. Go To War and Fire Flyer are feared most in what looks a competitive finale.
