Forecasts

High Up In The Air (11/8), Dostal Phil (7/4), Vado Forte (7/1), Antunes (7/1), Beaufort West (16/1)

Verdict

DOSTAL PHIL looked an above-average prospect when scoring first time up over fences at Newbury last month, travelling powerfully throughout and impressing how quickly he put the race to bed. He's sure to win more races and can follow up here. High Up In The Air hasn't finished improving yet and rates as the main threat to the selection after a recent hat-trick, ahead of Antunes.

  1. DOSTAL PHIL (FR)
  2. HIGH UP IN THE AIR (FR)
  3. ANTUNES
