Forecasts

Aero Majestic (7/4), Emma Beag (11/4), Border Victor (7/1), Jamboulet (15/2), Wind Of Hope (8/1), Top Billing (10/1), Letemgo (16/1), Tuatha De Dannan (50/1)

Verdict

EMMA BEAG does her best work around here and isn't harshly treated having gone up 5lb for her January C&D success, she should be right in the mix again and rates as the most obvious choice. The one to monitor in the betting is surely Aero Majestic, who has joined Gordon Elliott since winning a point-to-point last year and may leave previous rules form firmly behind. Border Victor went close at Catterick after a wind op and should give a good account while Top Billing is improving with racing this term and represents a trainer in great form.
