Forecasts

Tom Cody (13/8), Aristobulus (3/1), Kalpaga (9/2), Great Ballinboris (5/1), Ffree Pedro (10/1), Sehayli (22/1)

KALPAGA turned in much her best effort over fences when fourth at Ludlow last time and with that form working out well she looks very much the way to go. Recent Newcastle scorer Tom Cody rates the obvious threat to Tim Vaughan's mare, although fencing newcomers Ffree Pedro and Aristobulus also need factoring in, especially if the market vibes are positive.
