Forecasts

Arbre De Vie (4/7), Lachares (11/2), Mahler Ten (8/1), Flaxen Flare (12/1), Miles To Memphis (14/1), Plinth (16/1), Jimmy Breekie (20/1), Weather Watch (20/1), Akito (25/1), Cliffside Park (28/1), Vukovar (33/1)

Verdict

ARBRE DE VIE has been running with credit over fences, but his leading trainer has spotted an opening over hurdles and it would be no surprise were he to oblige. Flaxen Flare seems to retain a fair amount of his ability and can go well, while Lachares is a progressive younger horse who warrants respect.
