Forecasts

Easysland (1/1), Tiger Roll (9/2), Potters Corner (5/1), Balko Des Flos (6/1), Some Neck (17/2), Le Breuil (9/1), Alpha Des Obeaux (22/1), Hogan's Height (25/1), Defi Des Carres (28/1), Kingswell Theatre (33/1), Out Sam (50/1), Kings Temptation (66/1), Vivas (100/1), Artic Pearl (100/1)

Verdict

EASYSLAND saw off Tiger Roll to win this last year and with the dual Grand National winner seemingly not the force of old at 11 it's hard to see David Cottin's charge not doubling up. December's C&D winner Some Neck may provide the main threat, while Tiger Roll should still be good for another placed effort.

  1. EASYSLAND (FR)
  2. SOME NECK (FR)
  3. TIGER ROLL (IRE)
