Forecasts

Loup De Maulde (2/1), Admiral Balko (3/1), Judex Lefou (11/2), Ben Buie (6/1), Blueberg (6/1), Henri Le Bon (15/2), Zamani (10/1), Richie Valentine (22/1)

Verdict

LOUP DE MAULDE's jumping wasn't foot perfect on his C&D chase debut at the start of the month but he has the potential to improve with that experience behind him and there were positives to draw from that run so he's the selection. Not many bring compelling chase form to the table so it could be that the main threat comes from fence-newcomers Admiral Balko and Blueberg.

  1. LOUP DE MAULDE (FR)
  2. ADMIRAL BALKO (FR)
  3. BLUEBERG (IRE)
