Forecasts

Mister Universum (10/11), Shamash (5/4), Luso Benny (14/1), Patience Tony (50/1)

Assuming he turns up in the same mood as when winning at Stratford last time, MISTER UNIVERSUM ought to win this. However, he was a little hit-and-miss on his previous runs over hurdles so he may not be one to take a short price about. Irish raider Shamash may be his main challenger, but Luso Benny has some potential and could improve. Patience Tony looks the least likely contender.
