Forecasts

Weveallbeencaught (5/2), Mofasa (3/1), Are U Wise To That (5/1), Wiseguy (11/2), Everything'sontick (6/1), Some Scope (15/2), Midnight Our Fred (10/1)

None of these can be ruled out but Paul Nicholls' MOFASA looks the part for chasing and got off the mark in good style at Huntingdon last time so edges the vote. Wiseguy also has better days ahead of him and could emerge as the chief threat, although Weveallbeencaught, Some Scope and Everything'sontick all command plenty of respect too in an intriguing contest.
