Forecasts

Cloudy Dream (11/4), Flying Angel (3/1), Frodon (9/2), Javert (6/1), Value At Risk (13/2), Templehills (12/1), Theo (12/1), Ramses De Teillee (20/1), Voix D'Eau (40/1)

Verdict

There was more quality in last year’s renewal but we are presented with an intriguing contest for all that. Cloudy Dream making his first start for Don McCain is presented with an ideal chance of going one better than last year under what are likely to be optimum conditions but his weak finishing effort does leave doubts. Frodon if he can reproduce his Cheltenham handicap form from earlier in the year is given a big chance especially as his wind has been tinkered with. Several of the others have question marks against them but JAVERT wouldn’t be far off the best of these and deserves his chance at this level. Positive tactics would see Voix D’Eau in a good light on his stable debut.
