Forecast Prices: Star Cast 15/8, Sanafi Zabeel 5/1, Obito 5/1, Pol Roger 9/2, Dwindling Funds 12/1, Mr Lincoln 14/1, Molinari 10/1, Cisco Disco 16/1, Spanish Hustle 33/1, Livonian 50/1
oddschecker Verdict
Most of these have claims, but it is hard to oppose STAR CAST. The four-year-old scored by seven lengths at Chester a week ago and is 3lb well-in, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Sanafi Zabeel also won on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Pol Roger and Obito are others with strong form claims.
Prediction: 1st Star Cast, 2nd Sanafi Zabeel, 3rd Pol Roger
