Forecasts

Verdict

A number look likely longer-term projects, but PIKAR arrives having run just about his best race to date when third in a Cheltenham handicap 4 weeks ago and he could be worth siding with to get back to winning ways back up in trip. Henri The Second, returned to calmer waters, is a lead threat though, with Idealdes Villerets and Pachacuti others fancied to make the frame.

  1. PIKAR (FR)
  2. HENRI THE SECOND (FR)
  3. IDEALDES VILLERETS (FR)
