Forecasts

Born In The West (7/4), Asa (3/1), Rebel Intentions (4/1), Poetry Man (6/1), Colonial Empire (13/2), Rioja Alta (7/1), Guernesey (9/1), Piaff Bubbles (9/1), Baptism Of Fire (400/1)

A few with chances but it could pay to side with ASA who was a three-time winner last term and signalled she is ready to strike again after a recent resurgent Wetherby third. Rebel Intentions is next on the list but could again have to settle for second, while Colonial Empire is weighted to go well too if backing up his reappearance Taunton second. C&D scorer Born In The West completes the shortlist.
