Forecasts

Pileon (7/4), Southfield Stone (2/1), Not That Fuisse (4/1), Coole Cody (5/1)

Verdict

It didn't take long for PILEON to attain a useful level of form over hurdles, and in receipt of 5 lb from the 3 previous chase winners, he can pick up where he left off last term switched to the larger obstacles. Southfield Stone's runner-up effort in Grade 2 company is the best form on offer over fences and, representing a yard in sparkling form, is the obvious threat.

  1. PILEON (IRE)
  2. SOUTHFIELD STONE
  3. NOT THAT FUISSE (FR)
