Forecasts

Cadell (11/8), Breakdance Kid (11/4), Ganapathi (6/1), Music Of Tara (6/1), Anglers Crag (15/2), Prince Des Fichaux (8/1), Half Shot (9/1), Saint Arvans (10/1), Pont Aven (200/1)

The vote goes to BREAKDANCE KID, who bounced back from a couple of below par efforts when third at Carlisle and he's just 3 lb higher than for his clear-cut success here in the autumn. Half Shot is lurking on a potentially handy mark and will be a threat if on-song, while recent course winner Cadell and Ganapathi are likely to be on the premises, too. Pont Aven would be a danger to all if anywhere near his best but he's now at the veteran stage and has a fair bit to prove at present.
