Forecasts

Rolling Dylan (1/1), Eragon De Chanay (10/3), Didero Vallis (7/2), Ballycross (15/2), Roc D'Apsis (100/1)

Verdict

On the revised terms ROLLING DYLAN will likely get pushed a bit closer by Ballycross than in the Royal Artillery, but is still taken to get the better of Nicky Henderson's charge and become the third horse since 2015 to complete the Royal Artillery/Grand Military double.
