Forecasts

Monalee (6/4), Snow Falcon (11/4), Shattered Love (4/1), The Storyteller (7/1), Peregrine Run (8/1), Blue Empyrean (100/1)

Verdict

Peregrine Run and Snow Falcon have fitness on their side with the former more suited to these conditions. However, Monalee and SHATTERED LOVE stand out on form. Both go well fresh and the former proved himself at the highest levels as a novice. The concession of 7lb to the selection looks a stiff task though, particularly as Gordon Elliott's mare has an outstanding record off a break and looks better equipped to handle this trip on this ground. The Storyteller won major prizes at Cheltenham and Punchestown but looked a shade fortunate on the latter occasion and this promises to be tougher.
