Forecasts

Kildisart (11/4), Storm Of Intrigue (9/2), Turtle Wars (6/1), Settie Hill (15/2), Rockpoint (9/1), King Of Realms (10/1), Storm Control (10/1), Notre Ami (12/1), Oakley Hall (22/1), Turangi (33/1), Choix Des Armes (33/1), Mellow Ben (100/1), Roll Of The Dice (100/1), Minella Style (100/1), The Venerable Bede (125/1)

Any number of these are open to plenty of improvement and the market should prove a useful tool in sorting them into some sort of order, particularly with Nicky Henderson running three. Jockey bookings suggest Turtle Wars imay be the number one hope but his trio all hold strong claims, and it could be that SETTIE HILL , quietly impressive when landing an above-average bumper for the track at Market Rasen last year, comes out on top. Rockpoint is heading the right way too and may well have gone close here last time out but for a late-race blunder. He can get in the frame, with Storm Of Intrigue, Kildisart and Notre Ami all respected in a race that should prove informative going forward.
