Forecasts

Jerrysback (13/8), Le Breuil (5/2), Crucial Role (3/1), Slate House (6/1), Castafiore (20/1)

Jerrysback has given the distinct impression that he's best suited by jumping fences around a right-handed track, so despite producing a fine effort behind the still unbeaten Vinndication in an Ascot Grade 2 in December, he's taken on with both Crucial Role and LE BREUIL. The former was impressive in winning one of the most competitive Beginners' Chases of the season at Uttoxeter following an earlier unsettling introduction to chasing at this Lancashire track. Therefore, the safest option is the reliable Le Breuil who admittedly a shade less fashionable than that other aforementioned duo remains a useful prospect, and is nigh guaranteed to deliver his best.
