Forecasts

Almost Gotaway (11/8), Fame And Fun (7/2), Gavroche D'allier (9/2), Broomfields Cave (10/1), Baliyad (14/1), Presgrave (14/1), Kalpaga (16/1), Watchoutitscookie (25/1), Lookingdandy (28/1), Free Chakarte (40/1), Kapitaliste (40/1), Sam's The Man (50/1), Hazy Dream (66/1), Freddie Fleetfoot (125/1)

Verdict

ALMOST GOTAWAY showed a good attitude to score over C&D last time and remains on a handy-looking mark despite going up 8 lb so gets the vote. In-form duo Fame And Fun and Kalpaga are both weighted to have a say too and can chase home Nicky Martin's likeable 6-y-o in that order.

  1. ALMOST GOTAWAY (IRE)
  2. FAME AND FUN (IRE)
  3. KALPAGA (FR)
