Forecasts

Protektorat (1/2), Empire Steel (4/1), Port Of Mars (9/2)

Verdict

Only three runners but still a cracking novice chase in which PROTEKTORAT is fancied to get back to winning ways and make it 3-4 over fences after losing his unbeaten record when second in the Dipper. Port of Mars is very much on the up so should ensure Dan Skelton's bold-jumping front-runner doesn't get things all his own way, with Empire Steel not discounted either.

  1. PROTEKTORAT (FR)

  3. EMPIRE STEEL (IRE)
