Forecasts

Mercian Prince (9/4), Amour de Nuit (9/4), Poker School (5/2), Casse Tete (9/2)

With the recent form of his rivals sorely lacking AMOUR DE NUIT can continue his ascent as a young chaser and gain a fourth win in this his sixth start. His jumping has definitely improved with experience and with a good round here he will be hard to beat. Mercian Prince won this race last year and a repeat is far from out of the question although he must step up a good bit on efforts this season. Casse Tete looked like one with more to give when winning at Warwick last season and has had excuses in three starts since then.
