Forecasts

Lord Yeats (11/10), Encore Champs (9/4), Smiths Cross (7/2), Smackwater Jack (9/2), Mistiroc (8/1), Extra Mag (14/1), Charming Dream (22/1), Rollerball Rocco (100/1), Casimir Du Clos (200/1)

Verdict

This looks a treat with plenty of interest amongst the runners and it’s hard to rule out all bar two of the runners. The classy Flat sorts Lord Yeats and Mistiroc are sure to attract plenty of attention with the former of that duo reported to have schooled well at home while the latter has some experience he can put to good use. Extra Mag and Charming Dream both make their GB/stable debuts with the market likely to provide clues as to their chance. Smackwater Jack has been unlucky so far and Smiths Cross is sure to win over hurdles. ENCORE CHAMPS comes from a yard with a good strike-rate here and taken to score on his hurdles debut having been a recent costly purchase.
  1. Encore Champs
  2. Lord Yeats
  3. Smackwater Jack
