Forecasts

Kalahari Queen (7/4), Kupatana (2/1), My Old Gold (2/1), Tokaramore (25/1)

Verdict

KALAHARI QUEEN improved for her wind surgery as she scored last time Wetherby but, more pertinently, she jumped very nicely. That bodes well and there should be more to come from Aidan Coleman's mount. She earns the nod over Kupatana, who is talented, but comes here having failed to get around safely in three of four starts lately, including when having a similar event at her mercy on debut for Paul Nicholls at Ludlow. My Old Gold is next best, though she has to cope with a drop in trip.
  1. Kalahari Queen
  2. Kupatana
  3. My Old Gold
