Forecasts

Bagad Bihoue (4/6), Kayf Blanco (5/4), Valshan Time (50/1)

Bagad Bihoue's record speaks volumes for his trainer's ability to places his horses to maximum effect. He is 2-2 over fences and has to be feared, but KAYF BLANCO was decent over hurdles and the form of his chasing debut would see him home in receipt of weight from his main rival. Valsham Time looks to be making up the numbers.
