Forecasts

Herakles Westwood (2/1), Pic Roc (9/4), Lord Of Thunder (11/2), Saint Davy (11/2), Toss Of A Coin (7/1), Menaggio (12/1), Hillcrest (14/1), Emailandy (20/1)

None of these can be ruled out but HERAKLES WESTWOOD still looks ahead of his mark despite going up 5 lb for his recent Windsor victory so gets the vote. Towton Chase runner-up Lord of Thunder heads the list of dangers, with Pic Roc and Toss of A Coin both with the potential to make a mark too.
