Forecasts

King D'Argent (5/2), Exelerator Express (7/2), Funambule Sivola (9/2), Shanacoole Prince (6/1), Shut The Box (8/1), Bridle Loanan (9/1), Doitforthevillage (20/1), Finnegan's Garden (25/1)

Verdict

Preference in this competitive race is for EXELERATOR EXPRESS, who couldn't match strides with Funambule Sivola at Wetherby last month but enjoys a significant pull at the weights with that rival here. Shanacoole Prince made a positive start in this sphere on his Southwell reappearance and should have more to offer, while King d'Argent won well on chase debut at Warwick and also merits respect.

  1. EXELERATOR EXPRESS (FR)
  2. SHANACOOLE PRINCE (IRE)
  3. KING D'ARGENT (FR)
