Forecasts

Benbatl (9/4), Chindit (16/5), Mutasaabeq (9/2), Duke Of Hazzard (9/1), Happy Power (10/1), Perotto (14/1), Pogo (18/1), Lavender's Blue (20/1), Escobar (25/1), Stormy Antarctic (40/1)

Verdict

BENBATL hasn't been seen since his third in the Joel at Newmarket last autumn but he overcame an absence of nearly a year when winning that same contest in 2019 and has a number of efforts on his CV which would make him hard to beat here. Chindit has fallen short at the very highest level since his Greenham win but he's been performing with credit and rates the chief threat ahead of Happy Power.

  1. BENBATL
