Forecasts

Kopek Des Bordes (15/8), Spinola Bay (10/3), Doctor Steinberg (6/1), Butchers Bill (17/2), Clap Of Thunder (10/1), We're Red And Blue (12/1), La Note Verte (14/1), Keep Kool Coko (22/1), Moon And Back (25/1), Frogman (28/1), Moonshine Ranger (33/1), Kentucky Beach (40/1), Nearlybens (50/1), Some See Stars (66/1), Spread The Faith (150/1)

Verdict

BUTCHERS BILL makes plenty of appeal on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. He is marginally preferred to the Willie Mullins-trained newcomers Kopek Des Bordes, La Note Verte and Doctor Steinberg (in that order of preference), while British raiders Clap of Thunder and We're Red And Blue both have claims.

  1. BUTCHERS BILL
