Forecasts

Acapella Bourgeois (6/4), Burrows Saint (9/4), Tout Est Permis (5/1), The Long Mile (15/2), Anibale Fly (17/2)

Verdict

ACAPELLA BOURGEOIS took this event 12 months ago and signalled he's ready to go close again when fifth at Gowran last month so gets the nod ahead of stable-companion Burrows Saint who has his first run over fences this season in his build-up to the Grand National. The returning Anibale Fly has the form to play a big part but is also being earmarked for Aintree so might have to settle for a place.
