Forecasts

Back To The Thatch (2/1), Ami Desbois (5/1), Chef D'Oeuvre (7/1), Another Venture (8/1), West Of The Edge (8/1), Ballymalin (17/2), Ballycross (10/1), Very First Time (14/1), Dell' Arca (16/1), Dare To Endeavour (40/1)

The Welsh National Trial form was boosted when winner Ramses De Teillee ran so well in the big one so the trio who ran well in that race look the ones to focus on here. Ami Desbois finished in front of BACK TO THE THATCH there but the latter looked the one who would relish this extra 3½f the most so he gets the vote to turn the tables. Another Venture was only one position behind the selection and unlike the aforementioned duo he was having his first run of the season there so has more potential for improvement.
