Forecasts

Lord Torranaga (16/5), Hellenista (16/5), Spantik (10/3), Easter Icon (5/1), Winklevi (17/2), Oh So Chic (12/1), Mancini (16/1), Tiberio Force (18/1), Third Avenue (125/1)

Verdict

A number with claims, including SPANTIK who again ran with credit when runner-up over C&D 4 weeks ago and could be worth siding with to capitalise on his reduced mark. Lord Torranaga similarly arrives in good heart and is feared, with Oh So Chic, returned to this venue, and Hellenista others worth a look.

  1. SPANTIK
  2. LORD TORRANAGA (FR)
  3. OH SO CHIC
