Forecasts

Cesar Du Gouet (8/13), Cosmic King (2/1), Chivers (5/2), Opechee (5/1)

COSMIC KING is marginally preffered to top weight Cesar Du Gouet in a trappy affair. He took well to fences when wining over C&D last time and the form has been given a boost since. Cesar Du Gouet is entitled to improve for his recent spin over hurdles following a break and has every chance, while Opechee has a chance if picking his hooves up, and Chivers, although one for the bookies Christmas card list, can't be ruled out of the equation either in a tight-knit affair.
