Forecasts

Kraqueline (7/2), Kingofthewest (4/1), Bonza Boy (5/1), Fame And Fun (6/1), Hot Rod Lincoln (13/2), Chankaya (9/1), Sherborne (11/1), King Of Brazil (11/1), Moytier (12/1), Grosvenor Court (14/1), Has Troke (16/1), Pencil (22/1)

The vote goes to KINGOFTHEWEST, who should be all the better for his chase debut fourth at Taunton following a seven-month absence and this step back up in trip is a potentially good move. Sherborne probably would've finished closer but for a stumble at the third-last at Kempton last time and he is next on the list ahead of Moytier.
