Forecasts

Label Des Obeaux (11/8), Wild West Wind (11/8), Herbert Park (9/1), In The Rough (12/1), Ugolin De Beaumont (12/1)

Verdict

WILD WEST WIND holds entries in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham and the Eider at Newcastle, which suggest stamina is not a problem. He kept on well to score last time and this stiff track should see him to even better effect. He continues on the upgrade and is taken to land this at the expense of Label des Obeaux. Alan King's charge also hold a Festival entry but the handicapper has taken a far from lenient view of his latest success. In The Rough may be seen to better effect in the summer but still makes more appeal than the other pair. 1. Wild West Wind 2. Label Des Obeaux 3. In The Rough
