Forecasts

City Chief (1/5), Prince Des Fichaux (7/1), Best Trition (10/1), Master Tradesman (33/1), Barnard Castle (40/1)

Verdict

CITY CHIEF failed to build on the promise of his promising hurdles debut when chasing home Wonderwall at Doncaster in January, but it's unlikely that he faces anything of that calibre here. Moreover, this point winner can be expected to improve now faced with a stiffer test and he is hard to oppose. Best Trition and newcomer Prince des Fichaux can fill the places.
