Forecasts

Verdict

A host in with chances but GOLDEN SOVEREIGN shaped well returning from a 22-month absence when third here on Boxing Day and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Philip Hobbs' charge is fancied to double his tally over fences and notch C&D success number 2. Certainly Red is sure to be popular in his hat-trick bid but he may have to settle for silver, with Putdecashonthedash and Neon Moon another couple worth considering.

  1. GOLDEN SOVEREIGN (IRE)
  2. CERTAINLY RED
  3. PUTDECASHONTHEDASH (IRE)
