Forecasts

Mister Marbles (1/1), Petrossian (9/4), Apothicaire (5/2), Winterwatch (7/2), Pachacuti (6/1), Henry Box Brown (10/1), Cadeau D'Or (10/1), Big Bill Newman (20/1), Castle Quarter (25/1), Alto Alto (33/1), Helix (66/1), Prince Of Bad Lins (80/1), Lord Bill (100/1), Merry Monty (150/1)

Verdict

PETROSSIAN shaped promisingly on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Kempton and this fairly useful bumper winner is expected to build on that and go one better at the chief expense of Apothicaire who also showed up well when third at Carlisle last time. Mister Marbles is another with the form to play a part, while newcomer Castle Quarter and the progressive Pachachuti need factoring in too.

  1. PETROSSIAN (IRE)
  2. APOTHICAIRE (FR)
  3. MISTER MARBLES (IRE)
