Betting Forecast: 4/1 A Genie In Abottle, 9/2 Edwulf, 7/1 Champers On Ice, 8/1 Beware The Bear, 10/1 Martello Tower, 10/1 Bigbadjohn, 12/1 Arpege D’alene, 14/1 Tiger Roll, 16/1 Flintham, 16/1 Arbre De Vie, 16/1 Haymount, 20/1 Dancing Shadow, 20/1 Missed Approach, 20/1 Calett Mad, 25/1 Kerrow, 33/1 Bells ‘n’ Banjos, 33/1 Ballycross, 50/1 What A Moment

Betting tip: Another very difficult race with multiple last time out winners – Bigbadjohn ran 8 lengths behind Thistlecrack (a 170+ rated horse) and although the race wasn’t competitive, this race represents a much easier task and Bigbadjohn could be worth an each-way play.
