Forecasts

War Soldier (13/8), Lebowski (3/1), Dare To Shout (7/2), Horn Cape (9/2), Not What It Seems (18/1)

Verdict

Tough to rule out any of the quintet but the vote goes to WAR SOLDIER, who already boasts a couple of course wins and really caught the eye when last seen at Ayr 7 months ago. Provided he's ready to roll, he can get the better of Lebowski, who did too much too soon on return/yard debut at Chepstow in October but should be much closer to form here. Horn Cape looks best of the rest.

  1. WAR SOLDIER (IRE)
  2. LEBOWSKI (IRE)
  3. HORN CAPE (FR)
