Forecasts

Franco D'Aunou (4/9), Chives (5/1), Artemision (13/2), Grooveur (14/1), Snowpiercer (80/1)

Assuming he handles the likely quicker ground this looks a good opportunity for FRANCO D'AUNOU to defy a penalty. Nicky Henderson's Chives can leave his debut behind and give the selection most to think about.
