Forecasts
The Dutchman (7/2), Champers On Ice (9/2), Arthur's Gift (6/1), Jester Jet (7/1), Rocky's Treasure (7/1), Luccombe Down (10/1), Shantou Bob (12/1), Fly Camp (12/1), Anteros (16/1), Sykes (33/1), Taj Badalandabad (33/1)
There's a lot to like about JESTER JET's profile and she's a tentative selection in what could hardly be a more competitive contest. Arthur's Gift gets a useful claimer in the saddle and should make a bold hat-trick bid while Champers On Ice is proving to be a better hurdler than chaser and may be capable of more improvement for a shrewd yard.
