Forecasts

Heroique De Maulde (11/8), Oscars Leader (10/3), Chanceux (7/2), Baron De Midleton (4/1), Ritson (11/2)

Verdict

HEROIQUE DE MAULDE cemented the positive start made for his new yard when scoring at Doncaster 16 days ago and a 2 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid on that evidence dropping back down in trip. Chanceux was let down by his jumping at Uttoxeter latest but his previous chase debut second was a solid display and he's not out of things, with Baron de Midleton also worth a second look.

  1. HEROIQUE DE MAULDE (FR)
  2. CHANCEUX (IRE)
  3. BARON DE MIDLETON (IRE)
