Forecasts

Read To Return (16/5), Mole Court (13/2), Strictlyadancer (13/2), Brampton Belle (10/1), Hascoeur Clermont (12/1), Chambard (12/1), Outside The Door (12/1), Latitude (12/1), Grandads Cottage (12/1), Tea Clipper (12/1), Manothepeople (12/1), Switch Hitter (14/1), Wick Green (16/1), Blame The Game (16/1), Wayfinder (16/1), Undersupervision (18/1), Plenty Of Time (18/1), Galon De Vauzelle (25/1), Coeur Serein (33/1), Cap Du Nord (50/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but STRICTLYADANCER took this prize in 2021 and comes here on the back of an encourging C&D fourth behind Mole Court so edges the vote off a lenient-looking mark. Ben Pauling's upwardly-mobile chaser Mole Court rates the main threat in his bid for a five-timer, although Irish-challengers Read To Return and Hascoeur Clermont need factoring in too. Latitude and Manothepeople complete the shortlist.
