Forecasts

Explode (3/1), Atherstone Warrior (10/3), King Al (4/1), Mustazeed (8/1), Something Splendid (11/1), Northwest Passage (12/1), Arcturus Flame (14/1), Sweet Reward (14/1), Alcaraz (14/1), Jannas Journey (18/1), Tiger (22/1), Miletus (28/1), Under The Sun (100/1)

Lots with chances. Alan King took this 12 months ago and is fancied to repeat the feat with his improving 3-y-o KING AL who advanced his form when runner-up at Nottingham recently and can bag a second C&D success. Atherstone Warrior is feared most on the back of a facile Sandown victory, although a solid case can also be made for Arcturus Flame, Alcaraz and Mustazeed in this highly competitive handicap.
