Forecasts

Galopin Des Champs (2/11), Master McShee (7/1), Riviere D'etel (8/1), Beacon Edge (16/1), Blue Sari (25/1), French Dynamite (25/1)

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS was in the process of running an amazing race before getting his final landing all wrong at Cheltenham. He would have been rated one of Timeform's best chasers in training had he completed, indeed he's clearly the best novice even after that, and should take all the beating with a clear round. Master McShee, fitted with a tongue tie for the first time, is the forecast pick.
