Forecasts

Kansas Du Berlais (11/2), Killaloan (13/2), Under Control (7/1), Iberico Lord (15/2), Beau Balko (8/1), Arqoob (10/1), Joe Dadancer (10/1), Sergeant Wilson (10/1), Celtic Art (12/1), Holetown Hero (14/1), General Medrano (20/1), Dancila (20/1), Imperial Bede (22/1), Bertie's Wish (28/1), Tapley (33/1), Milldam (66/1)

It's all come together for KANSAS DU BERLAIS this spring and he's selected to complete a hat-trick now switching to handicap company for the first time. The J P McManus-owned Nicky Henderson pair Iberico Lord and Under Control likely have more to offer and head the many dangers. Paul Nicholls' excellent record in this also earns Killaloan a place on the shortlist.
