Forecasts

McFabulous (7/4), Gelino Bello (5/2), Galia Des Liteaux (5/2), Thyme Hill (11/2), Mortlach (40/1)

Verdict

Paul Nicholls and Dan Skelton have shared the last 2 runnings of this and this may well develop into a straight fight between their pair MCFABULOUS and Galia des Liteaux. The former was impressive when seeing off Thyme Hill at Newbury and is narrowly preferred.

  1. MCFABULOUS (IRE)
  2. GALIA DES LITEAUX (FR)
  3. GELINO BELLO (FR)
