Forecasts

El Fabiolo (8/13), Bring On The Night (7/2), Ha D'Or (11/2), Micro Manage (14/1), Supreme Jet (22/1), Da Capo Glory (25/1), Watch House Cross (25/1), Camilla's Choice (250/1), Fourbi (250/1)

Verdict

EL FABIOLO found a chunk of improvement to push Jonbon close at Aintree last time and, without anything of that calibre to contend with, he's well fancied to resume winning ways. Stablemates Ha D'Or and Bring On The Night aren't without a chance, but they'd likely have to catch the selection on an off day to win.

  1. EL FABIOLO (FR)
  2. HA D'OR (FR)
  3. BRING ON THE NIGHT
