Forecasts

Jacamar (5/4), The Edgar Wallace (6/4), Torigni (5/2), Cut The Mustard (9/2), Yccs Portocervo (5/1)

Verdict

THE EDGAR WALLACE is a chaser on looks and confirmed the promise he'd shown over hurdles last term with a cosy victory at Market Rasen on his first go over fences in November. He's open to further improvement and should have enough to defy a 3 lb rise. Jacamar hasn't been disgraced up in grade since winning at Kempton and is the chief threat.

  1. THE EDGAR WALLACE (IRE)
  2. JACAMAR (GER)
  3. TORIGNI (FR)
