Forecasts

Precious Cargo (8/11), Moonlighter (11/8), Coole Well (8/1)

Moonlighter can probably be considered a shade unlucky not to be a winner over fences, but on the flip side of the coin the obstacles are there to be jumped and that has proved his achilles heel so far. Therefore, we'll chance the Nicky Henderson-trained chasing debutant PRECIOUS CARGO who possessed a fair degree of ability in bumpers (and over hurdles). This six-year-old will surely relish these testing underfoot conditions, while the Jane Williams-trained runner has something to prove in that regard.
