Forecasts

Not The Chablis (7/4), Fourth Of July (13/2), Izzy's Champion (13/2), Book Of Invasions (15/2), Begoodtoyourself (8/1), King Golan (16/1), Roxboro Road (18/1), Sword Of Fate (20/1), Graystown (20/1), Shallow Run (25/1), Charmix (25/1), Skye Chief (33/1), Harleys Max (100/1)

Verdict

NOT THE CHABLIS stepped up markedly on his chase debut when runner-up here last month and should go well again off the same mark. Begoodtoyourself has improved since switched to fences and this right-handed track should suit, while last year's winner Izzy's Champion arrives on the back of a good run here.

  1. NOT THE CHABLIS (IRE)

  3. IZZY'S CHAMPION (IRE)
