Forecasts

Giant (4/1), Billy Mill (9/2), Thapa VC (9/2), Beattie Is Back (9/2), Lessay (7/1), Follow Your Heart (15/2), Lir Speciale (8/1), Revolutionise (17/2), He's A Gentleman (10/1), Starshiba (12/1), Riot (14/1), Aljari (20/1)

A case can be made for virtually all of these but THAPA VC just missed out at Lingfield last time and this multiple C&D winner edges the vote. Follow Your Heart, Lir Speciale, Giant and Billy Mill all in the picture too.
