Forecasts

Arthur's Secret (1/1), Vinnie Red (10/3), Old Pride (11/2), Monetaire (6/1), Master Sunrise (7/1), Kit Barry (12/1), Mirs Choice (33/1), No Likey (40/1), Cyrien Star (50/1), The Kvilleken (66/1), Turnover (150/1)

Verdict

Vinnie Red would have an excellent chance at his best, and there's every chance he can bounce back to play a major role, but preference is for KIT BARRY. He didn't run badly on hunter chase debut at Cheltenham last time out, and given his progressive form in point-to-points he can build on that run and get off the mark under rules here. Arthur's Secret is another who has very good recent form in point-to-points, and he should also go well.
  1. Kit Barry
