Forecasts

San Benedeto (2/1), Quite By Chance (7/2), Cepage (11/2), Sire De Grugy (6/1), Dandridge (10/1), Upsilon Bleu (11/1), Sir Valentino (16/1), Vaniteux (20/1)

The best advice is to roll back the clock to November 2016 and you'll see that Sire De Grugy (winner), QUITE BY CHANCE (second), Vaniteux (third) and Upsilon Bleu (sixth) are all back in action for another crack at the Shawbrook Handicap Chase. The classy veteran Sire De Grugy will have to be at the top of his game in order to hold off the Ascot specialist Quite By Chance this time around. The selection should be spot on for this race now after his 7L C&D second to Exitas recently. San Benedeto is improving, and looks the most likely danger on the back of a pleasing effort in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter where he was beaten by his talented stablemate Politologue.
