Forecasts

Favori De Champdou (11/10), Moulane West (2/1), Choir Practice (4/1), Paladian Jewel (5/1), Desert Friend (11/2), Ballyegan Park (11/2), Truckers Angel (10/1), Well Pleased (16/1), Alvaro (25/1), Delikklemunchkin (33/1), Problem Solver (33/1), Venetian Rock (40/1), Miss Frontiere (50/1), Michael Hennery (66/1)

Verdict

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU has a 19-month absence to overcome but he showed form verging on useful in bumpers and should be well up to winning a race of this nature over hurdles. Choir Practice and Desert Friend make most appeal of the opposition.

  1. FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU (FR)
  2. CHOIR PRACTICE
  3. DESERT FRIEND (IRE)
