Forecasts

Thebannerkingrebel (2/7), Story Of Friends (9/4), Line Of Beauty (25/1), Kapoupakap (100/1), Chica Rapida (150/1)

The two previous winners THEBANNERKINGREBEL and Story Of Friends look head and shoulders ahead of the rest here with clear preference for Jamie Snowden's charge who was the superior bumper performer and the more impressive of the pair on hurdles bow. Line Of Beauty may manage to win the race for third but one suspects they will be a long way behind the top two.
