Forecasts

Flemcara (9/2), Albert D'olivate (5/1), Indy Five (13/2), Saffron Wells (7/1), Cesar Collonges (15/2), Billy Dutton (8/1), Watcombe Heights (10/1), Hit The Highway (12/1), Max Do Brazil (14/1), Ambion Lane (16/1), Druid's Folly (25/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for many of these, but CESAR COLLONGES makes most appeal based on his latest Carlisle effort when beating a subsequent winner in a style which suggested he would improve further for this stiffer test. Watcombe Heights is feared having finished third in a strong novice hurdle won by the highly regarded White Moon and Ambion Lane is better than his last run suggests. Indy Five is an interesting contender for an in form yard, whilst Robert Walford has a strong hand with Druid's Folly and Albert D'olivate both having claims at the weights.
  1. Cesar Collonges
  2. Watcombe Heights
  3. Druid's Folly
