Forecasts

Fumet D'Oudairies (5/2), The Triple Pillar (11/4), I'm Wiser Now (3/1), Captain McGinley (7/1), Rebel Dawn Rising (15/2), Schiap Hill (20/1), Bold Gesture (20/1), Chase Me (33/1), Barrack Hill (150/1), Clondaw Bunny (200/1), Where Now (200/1), Montarlot (200/1), Vic The Vandal (250/1)

Verdict

The suggestion is THE TRIPLE PILLAR who shaped reasonably well in a couple of novice handicap chases towards the end of last year and ought to be capable of doing something at this level. Captain McGinley and I'm Wiser Now also have the form to figure, while Fumet d'Oudairies is a fascinating contender having been unbeaten in the pointing field last winter.

  1. THE TRIPLE PILLAR (IRE)
  2. CAPTAIN MCGINLEY (IRE)
  3. I'M WISER NOW (IRE)
