Forecasts

Adrien Du Pont (4/5), Happy Diva (7/4), Valhalla (6/1)

Adrien Du Pont sets the standard having won at Fontwell on his chase bow and kept some very good company since. He has his sights lowered and will take stopping. HAPPY DIVA however has really impressed with her jumping at times and also has some smart form (and two wins) in the book. She also gets weight and might be the one to land this. Valhalla needs to improve in the jumping stakes to ensure a role in the finish against these two rivals.
