Forecasts

Belami Des Pictons (1/4), Zeroeshadesofgrey (3/1), Dueling Banjos (7/2), Prince Of Steal (11/2)

This has all the hallmarks of a tactical event as both Zeroshadesofgrey and Duelling Banjos can make the running. However, BELAMI DES PICTONS has really thrived of late and just edges the nomination as a the more proven determined character. Prince Of Steal is a useful hurdler on his day but has yet to impress over fences. He may need more time but is certainly capable of winning a race of this nature once he gets his jumping sorted out. 1. Belami Des Pictons 2. Zeroeshadesofgrey 3. Dueling Banjos
