Forecasts

Jet Of Magic (4/1), Remastered (9/2), Green Book (6/1), Coquelicot (10/1), Storm Nelson (10/1), Call Me Lord (11/1), Bells Of Peterboro (11/1), Flight Deck (11/1), Schalke (20/1), Party Business (20/1), Dolphin Square (20/1), Stellar Magic (20/1), Wilde About Oscar (22/1), Indefatigable (25/1), Bothwell Bridge (40/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout. REMASTERED is enjoying a fine season and is worth siding with given he can race off a 4 lb lower mark than when successful over fences at Kempton last time. The reliable Bells of Peterboro is another weighted to have a big say, while in-form duo Jet of Magic and Storm Nelson, along with last year's winner Green Book, complete the shortlist.

  1. REMASTERED
  2. BELLS OF PETERBORO (IRE)
  3. JET OF MAGIC (IRE)
