Forecasts

Aire Valley Lad (9/2), Sir Apollo (5/1), Espoir Moriviere (15/2), Fever Roque (8/1), Trevelyn's Corn (8/1), Onestepatatime (17/2), Get Prepared (9/1), Jean Genie (9/1), Court At Slip (10/1), Beat The Edge (11/1), Concrete King (16/1), Black Opium (25/1), Gibberwell (28/1), Roccowithlove (40/1)

Verdict

SIR APOLLO opened his account with a bit to spare at Sedgefield last month and seems sure to go well once more after a 5 lb rise if his jumping holds up again. Aire Valley Lad looks to have turned over a new leaf and is respected after scoring here 3 weeks ago. Get Prepared, on chase debut, and Espoir Moriviere are a couple of others to consider.

  1. SIR APOLLO (IRE)
  2. AIRE VALLEY LAD
  3. GET PREPARED
