Forecasts

Arian (2/1), Lad Of Luck (11/4), Kings Monarch (11/2), Cloudy Glen (11/2), Air Navigator (6/1), The Boom Is Back (16/1), Francky Du Berlais (25/1), Daylami Kirk (25/1), Delirious Love (33/1), Tango du Roy (66/1), Reputational Risk (100/1)

Verdict

Arian receives a useful allowance and if cheekpieces can produce a bit extra then she may be good enough. However, KINGS MONARCH won his point-to-point on good ground and he does not have to improve much on his efforts in the mud to play a major role here. Lad Of Luck has been in need of the experience over hurdles, but enters calculations on his bumper form and given the likelihood of further improvement.
  1. Kings Monarch
  2. Arian
  3. Lad Of Luck
