Forecasts

Verdict

ARQOOB, a useful performer on the Flat, did well to finish runner-up on his recent Huntingdon hurdling debut considering he jumped tentatively throughout, so he's fancied to show the benefit of that initial experience and go one better here. Russian Ruler had excuses at Chepstow and is likely to benefit from the drop back in trip, with hat-trick seeker Holetown Hero also respected for all he has more on his plate now.
