Forecasts

Chef Des Obeaux (9/4), Now Mcginty (3/1), Steely Addition (7/2), Captain Cattistock (6/1), De Rasher Counter (12/1), Forza Milan (14/1), Tobefair (16/1), Johanos (25/1), Zero Grand (25/1), Herefordshire (100/1)

Verdict

There was plenty to like about how De Rasher Counter saw out his success at Newbury last time, and he could have a fair bit more to come. However, the similarly-penalised STEELY ADDITION already looked smart in scoring over C&D last time and is taken to repeat the feat. Chef Des Obeaux is nicely treated at these weights with the selection, but he was a shade disappointing on his chase debut, so needs to better that. Captain Cattistock and Now Mcginty are the others who make most appeal.
  1. Steely Addition
