Forecasts

Kauto The King (9/4), Sandy Boy (13/2), Hey Bud (13/2), Troed Y Melin (7/1), Forgetthesmalltalk (17/2), Normandy Soldier (12/1), Ebony Gale (12/1), Faint Hope (14/1), Favori De Sivola (16/1), Romanor (20/1), God Knows Why (28/1)

Verdict

KAUTO THE KING has taken well to fences this season, making a winning return at Wincanton before a good third under a penalty at Hereford, and looks the most solid option. Point-winner Normandy Soldier should make a better chaser so may emerge as the biggest threat, ahead of Hey Bud.

  1. KAUTO THE KING (FR)
  2. NORMANDY SOLDIER
  3. HEY BUD
