Forecasts

King Roland (7/4), Masters Legacy (5/2), Totterdown (6/1), Rockadenn (17/2), Pic D'Orhy (9/1), River Bray (11/1), Getaway Fred (20/1), Pinson Du Rheu (125/1)

Verdict

KING ROLAND made a positive return when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on chasing debut and remains with potential in this sphere, so he's fancied to improve past a mark of 140 up against, in the main, more exposed types. Masters Legacy is progressive but has a lengthy absence to overcome, so last year's Betfair Hurdle winner Pic d'Orhy could pose the main threat to the selection.

  1. KING ROLAND (IRE)
  2. PIC D'ORHY (FR)
  3. MASTERS LEGACY (IRE)
