Forecasts

Full Trottle (9/4), Big Fella Thanks (9/4), Poole Master (4/1), Klepht (10/1), Le Bacardy (12/1), Six A Side (16/1), Good Egg (25/1), Sivola De Sivola (33/1), Driftwood Pride (33/1), Otto The Great (50/1), Catch Tammy (66/1), Mr Moss (66/1), Martin Cash (100/1), Dream Chope (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these look to be flying too high and the top two are the ones to concentrate on. BIG FELLA THANKS is still operating at a decent level despite his years and can repeat last year's victory, although Full Trottle is in great form and can give him a race. Klepht may be the best of the rest.
  1. Big Fella Thanks
