Forecasts

Kincardine (4/6), Super Duper Sam (2/1), Horn Cape (7/2), Forward Plan (8/1), Robelli (10/1), Bucephalus (18/1), Accidental Legend (25/1), Ez Tiger (33/1), Ernie Bilko (66/1), Glenview Beauty (150/1), Lord Bill (150/1), Lumination (150/1)

Verdict

FORWARD PLAN shaped with plenty of promise when a tenderly-handled sixth at Fontwell and can take a sizeable step forward now and open his account at the chief expense of Wincanton runner-up Super Duper Sam, who also has better days ahead of him. Nicky Henderson's duo Kincardine and Horn Cape need considering too along with hurdling debutant Bucephalus.

  1. FORWARD PLAN (IRE)
  2. SUPER DUPER SAM
  3. KINCARDINE
