Verdict

BALCO COASTAL was most impressive at Kempton and the form has a strong look to it, so he's taken to follow up in this higher grade. Knappers Hill appeals as the chief threat bidding to defend his unbeaten record, while Super Six can't be discounted following his admirable fifth at Cheltenham.

  1. BALCO COASTAL (FR)
  2. KNAPPERS HILL (IRE)
  3. SUPER SIX
