Forecasts

Auvergnat (2/1), Whatareudoingtome (4/1), Net D'Ecosse (5/1), Coldstonesober (11/2), Stonehall Jack (6/1), Georges Conn (7/1), Phil's Magic (8/1), Fine Theatre (9/1), Kilford (12/1), Tulsa Jack (12/1), Air Command (12/1), Full Cry (14/1), Cassells Rock (16/1), Kansas City Chief (20/1), Dare To Endeavour (20/1), Captain Von Trappe (22/1), Kick On Boss (40/1)

Verdict

Quite a few of these are trying this trip for the first time and could improve, but it may pay to concentrate on those with proven stamina and Whatareudoingtome and Stonehall Jack fall into that category. That said, the interesting one is AUVERGNAT, who has been running with great credit in cross-country chases and looks nicely treated on his return to conventional fences. Air Command is unexposed and may outrun his odds.
  1. Auvergnat
  2. Stonehall Jack
  3. Whatareudoingtome
