Forecasts

Blaklion (9/4), Wild West Wind (9/2), The Dutchman (9/2), Silsol (5/1), Yala Enki (8/1), Mysteree (9/1), Daklondike (10/1), Three Faces West (16/1), Sir Mangan (20/1)

A good renewal of this contest. Blaklion will be the starting point for many punters and understandably so given his record and consistency. However, he has a big weight to shoulder in testing ground so narrow preference is for THE DUTCHMAN, who is progressive and showed his liking for this track last time. Three Faces West and Wild West Wind should go well if putting in a clear round after falling on their latest starts and Silsol may have improvement in him over fences. Yala Enki, Sir Mangan and Mysteree have something to find, but cannot be dismissed with any confidence.
