Forecasts

Volvalien (11/10), Ash Park (3/1), Applesandpierres (7/2), Prairie Town (10/1), Lyvius (16/1)

Verdict

Volvallen has seemingly taken best to fences of those to have run over the larger obstacles, but Lyvius has had excuses on both of his starts since his return to the track and this looks a considerably better option for him. However, preference is for the Dan Skelton trained rules chasing newcomer APPLESANDPIERRES. He could find this trip sharp enough having won twice in 3m point-to-points, but the suspicion is he's always been a chaser in the making, and this delayed rules appearance is only because of a training setback after winning at Worcester in June 2015. 1. Applesandpierres 2. Volvalien 3. Lyvius
