The Flying Sofa (15/8), Frero Banbou (11/4), Ardmayle (11/2), Monsieur D'Arque (11/2), Go Long (15/2), Monty's Award (25/1), Wenceslaus (28/1)

Verdict

Having shaped well in a decent jumpers bumper last time, THE FLYING SOFA gets the nod. He has been eased 3 lb subsequent to his reappearance fourth in this sphere at Fakenham in January and he is pretty versatile ground-wise. Frero Banbou was rather disappointing at Haydock, but he is interesting nonetheless back from a break following a wind operation. Monsieur d'Arque also enters calculations.

  1. THE FLYING SOFA (FR)
  2. FRERO BANBOU (FR)
  3. MONSIEUR D'ARQUE (IRE)
