Forecasts

Chavez (15/8), Jack In The Box (9/2), Pats Choice (6/1), Salmanino (13/2), Champ De Gane (11/1), Eyre Square (12/1), Killer Mode (14/1), Gain De Cause (14/1), Innovated (16/1), Champagne Sparkles (16/1), Cru Bourgeois (28/1)

Verdict

The market should prove revealing but CHAVEZ showed fairly useful winning form for Paul Nicholls and gets the vote now going chasing on his debut for Willie Mullins. Salmanino rates much the pick on form of those with fencing experience and is next on the list ahead of Gordon Elliott's pair Pats Choice and Jack In The Box.

  1. CHAVEZ (IRE)
  2. SALMANINO (FR)
  3. PATS CHOICE (IRE)
