Forecasts

Verdict

Preference is for MEATLOAF, who stepped up on his winning debut form when second in a Cheltenham listed bumper last month and likely has more to offer yet. Go To War and Fire Flyer are feared most in what looks a competitive finale.

  1. MEATLOAF (FR)
  2. GO TO WAR (IRE)
  3. FIRE FLYER (IRE)
