Forecasts

Jarraaf (5/6), Imperial Guard (5/1), Thunder Blue (10/1), Aramram (10/1), Daring Legend (16/1), Grand City Hall (18/1), Venture Capital (20/1), Action Point (20/1), Dapper Valley (20/1), General Assembly (25/1), Bulldog Drummond (33/1), Beyond Borders (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but it's hard to ignore the claims of JARRRAAF who created an excellent impression when going in over C&D last time and still looks ahead of his mark despite being raised 8 lb by the official assessor. Imperial Guard brings some very solid handicap efforts to the table and could emerge as the main danger, although in-form trio Thunder Blue, Venture Capital and Grand City Hall all need factoring in too. Daring Legend completes the shortlist.

  1. JARRAAF
  2. IMPERIAL GUARD (IRE)
  3. THUNDER BLUE
