Forecasts

El Bandit (4/11), Shelford (5/2), Vote Of Confidence (25/1)

This looks to boil down to a match between the debutante EL BANDIT and the more experienced Shelford although the latter’s attitude looks a little questionable over fences. Vote Of Confidence has shown little over fences so far and looks (barring accidents) for third spot.
