Forecasts

Billingsley (3/1), Starvoski (16/5), Rooster Cogburn (7/2), Court Royale (9/2), Ardmayle (11/2), Broadoak (9/1), Twotwothree (11/1), Megalodon (12/1), Ben Brody (20/1)

ARDMAYLE is only 1 lb higher than for his win at Southwell in March and he shaped well enough on his return there in November. Court Royale fared better than the distance beaten suggests at Ludlow and rates the main threat ahead of Billingsley.
