Forecasts

Clan Des Obeaux (4/9), Terrefort (5/2), Thomas Patrick (12/1), Ballyhill (33/1)

Verdict

CLAN DES OBEAUX marked himself down as a genuine Gold Cup contender when winning impressively in the King George and that form should see him a comfortable winner of this. Terrefort is smart in his own right and he could well improve for his recent reappearance so rates the logical alternative. Thomas Patrick has been disappointing but is interesting for big handicaps at the festivals.
