Forecasts

Kodi Lion (5/2), Headmaster (3/1), Woroodd (7/1), Tarkhan (10/1), Glenfinnan (10/1), God Of War (11/1), Ellaria Sand (12/1), Galeron (12/1), Walson's Law (14/1), Angel Hunter (14/1), Metabolt (16/1), Cavolo Nero (16/1), Arctic Grey (25/1), Kindest Nation (33/1), Yokkell (66/1)

This is wide open but it could pay to side with KODI LION who wasn't seen to ideal effect when an excellent runner-up at Haydock last time and can resume winning ways nudged up just 1 lb with William Buick now up. William Haggas' unexposed Headmaster looked ill at ease on the track on his handicap debut at Goodwood last time and could emerge as the main danger, while last year's victor Glenfinnan and the handily-weighted Metabolt are others who can have a say. Woroodd completes the shortlist.
