Forecasts

Explode (4/6), The Pouncing Lion (3/1), Zaaeem (10/1), Tenability (10/1), Arjwan (12/1), Caughtredhanded (14/1), Typhoon Dancer (40/1), Alfred Spero (50/1), Falmouth Lad (80/1), El Ghaawy (150/1), Minnesota (150/1), Dor's Dream (200/1)

Verdict

A few of these offer potential but James Ferguson's EXPLODE possesses much the best form on offer so is taken to go one better than when an excellent recent second here. The Gosdens' No Nay Never newcomer Arjwan could emerge as the chief threat ahead of The Pouncing Lion, Tenability and Caughtredhanded.
