Forecasts

Bells Of Stamford (3/1), Discko Des Plages (9/2), Shutthegate (11/2), Bonza Boy (15/2), Kingcormac (8/1), After The Fox (10/1), Treasure Dillon (10/1), Kap Chidley (16/1), Iron Horse (16/1), Faitque De L'Isle (16/1), Valirann Gold (18/1), Barnay (50/1), Est Illic (66/1), Tout Paris (100/1), Blackwater (125/1)

Verdict

BELLS OF STAMFORD is less exposed than most here and has made a positive start over fences, so is taken to defy a 7 lb rise and follow up. Discko des Plages isn't one to trust implicitly but is on a very workable mark if able to complete this time, whilst Kingcormac had plenty in hand when winning at Hereford on his penultimate start and should also be in the mix.

  1. BELLS OF STAMFORD (IRE)
  2. DISCKO DES PLAGES (FR)
  3. KINGCORMAC (IRE)
