Forecasts

Gold Present (15/8), Another Venture (11/4), Holly Bush Henry (11/4), Minella Daddy (4/1), Regal Encore (6/1), Vieux Lion Rouge (13/2), Tenor Nivernais (9/1)

There looks to be no hiding place here, with possible pace angles in Minella Daddy and the fast-improving Another Venture in attendance, and pressure on clean jumping will be at a premium. GOLD PRESENT keeps defying the handicapper and should get this run to suit, as he likes to travel in behind the leaders before coming late on the scene. He can complete the hat-trick, with his latest piece of form looking very strong indeed. Holly Bush Henry has had a great season and still looks on a mark that's competitive. He can take a prize home, with the aforementioned Another Venture best of the rest.
