Forecasts

Sopat (9/4), One Handsome Dude (3/1), Diocletian (10/3), Master Templar (4/1), First Soldier (7/1), No Anxiety (8/1), Macfin (11/1), Grandee (33/1), Elyaqim (66/1), Getaway Suzy (125/1), Gatillo (125/1), Dapa Lad (150/1)

Verdict

MASTER TEMPLAR sets a clear standard and should be suited by this slightly stiffer test, so looks the most solid option. Macfin went close in a bumper at Bangor on debut 3 weeks ago and could emerge as the biggest threat now hurdling, while One Handsome Dude is worth a market check on his first start for Nicky Henderson.

  1. MASTER TEMPLAR (IRE)
  2. MACFIN (IRE)
  3. ONE HANDSOME DUDE (IRE)
