Forecasts

Chitu (5/4), Chieftain's Choice (7/4), Rendezvous Peak (3/1), Alys Keys (66/1)

Verdict

Rendezvous Peak would not be the biggest surprise winner saddled by his trainer if he proves good enough here, but it would be some turnaround for him to do so after a break, given what he was producing before it and preference is for the very solid CHITU, who has been consistent in his four runs over fences and proved that he can win one. Chieftain's Choice should be able to improve on his chasing debut too and, having ridden Chitu, Brian Hughes will know better than most how his mount today compares to the likely favourite.
  1. Chitu
  2. Chieftain's Choice
