Forecasts

Ree Okka (7/4), Shakem Up'arry (16/5), Galop De Chasse (6/1), Tile Tapper (10/1), Make Me A Believer (10/1), Gladiateur Allen (10/1), Ede'iffs Elton (11/1), Alnadam (20/1), Captain Tom Cat (33/1), Native Robin (40/1), Maypole Class (80/1)

Verdict

A competitive-looking contest, with preference for SHAKEM UP'ARRY to resume his progress on his return having developed into a useful chaser last season. The 8-y-o shaped as if ready for another try at this trip when staying on for third at Aintree in April, so he can get the better of Ree Okka who made a promising chase debut last month. Ede'iffs Elton completes the shortlist.

  1. SHAKEM UP'ARRY (IRE)
  2. REE OKKA
  3. EDE'IFFS ELTON
