Forecasts

Fortunate Man (11/5), Zertakt (9/2), Not Sure (15/2), From The Ashes (9/1), Minella Blueway (10/1), Just Over Land (10/1), Art Decco (12/1), Animal (14/1), Regatta De Blanc (14/1), Yippee Ki Yay (22/1), Planned Paradise (25/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but FORTUNATE MAN still looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 5 lb rise for his Aintree victory so gets the vote. Both Zertakt and Minella Blueway should find this step up in trip to their benefit and can ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way though. Top-weight Art Decco completes the shortlist in an intriguing handicap.
