Forecasts

American Sniper (10/3), Just Loose Change (4/1), Individualiste (4/1), Amelia's Dance (9/2), Samuel Spade (11/1), Inferno Sacree (11/1), Swaffham Bulbeck (16/1), Iorens (18/1), Samtara (20/1), Bashful Boy (25/1), Santana Plessis (125/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but it is worth siding with Paul Nicholls' low-mileage 5-y-o INDIVIDUALISTE to capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Recent Cheltenham scorer American Sniper rates a massive threat though, while Swaffham Bulbeck can also have a say now his sights are lowered.
