Forecasts

Apple's Jade (5/6), If The Cap Fits (7/1), Sam Spinner (7/1), William Henry (8/1), Roksana (10/1), Wholestone (16/1), The Worlds End (25/1), Unowhatimeanharry (25/1), Kilbricken Storm (25/1), West Approach (33/1), Lord Napier (40/1), Sykes (40/1), Clyne (50/1), Agrapart (66/1), Nautical Nitwit (80/1)

Verdict

If Apple's Jade bounces back to form, she's probably going to be hard to beat, but WILLIAM HENRY is an interesting runner on his second start since a wind operation, stepping up to three miles for the first time. A repeat of Sam Spinner's effort at Cheltenham should see him go close but his disappointing run when a short-priced favourite in the race last year is still fresh in the memory. West Approach has been keeping some smart company this campaign and could go well at an each-way price.
  1. William Henry
  2. Apple's Jade
  3. Sam Spinner
