Forecasts

Two For Gold (10/3), Double Shuffle (4/1), Coo Star Sivola (9/2), Rocco (6/1), Commodore (6/1), Slate House (8/1), Glen Forsa (10/1), West Approach (12/1), Guitar Pete (16/1), King Of Realms (18/1), Minellacelebration (20/1), Almazhar Garde (20/1), Ami Desbois (22/1), Beau Bay (28/1), Saint Xavier (40/1)

Verdict

Now 5 lb lower than when scoring at the 2018 Cheltenham Festival, COO STAR SIVOLA may be worth siding with in this open-looking race. He didn't get very far in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time, but this 9-y-o is generally a sound jumper and his reappearance effort was encouraging. Two For Gold may still have more to offer and is second choice ahead of Guitar Pete and Commodore.

  1. COO STAR SIVOLA (FR)
  2. TWO FOR GOLD (IRE)
  3. GUITAR PETE (IRE)
