Forecasts

Verdict

MAJAVANGO made an encouraging start over fences when finding just one too good in a 19f maiden chase here in May and, if able to build on that, he could be the answer. Brown Monday was also runner-up on his debut in this sphere and should make his presence felt, but bigger threats may be posed by Ingenious Stroke and Final Orders, both fair hurdlers who should have parts to play if they take to the larger obstacles at the first attempt.

  1. MAJAVANGO (IRE)
  2. INGENIOUS STROKE (IRE)
  3. FINAL ORDERS
