Forecasts

Sonnetist (3/1), Willyegolassiego (7/2), Paddys Runner (4/1), London Glory (7/1), Lady Makfi (8/1), Hussar Ballad (10/1), Gabrial The Terror (14/1), Handsome Dan (25/1), Argent Knight (40/1)

Verdict

Most of these come with risks attached but WILLYEGOLASSIEGO has a more consistent recent profile than many and just edges the nomination as the one to be on. Lady Makfi posted one of her better efforts last time and can make a good fist of things if she's in the same frame of mind once more, while London Glory has bits of past form that stand up to scrutiny and give him solid claims of at least making the frame.
  1. Willyegolassiego
