Forecasts

Mighty Potter (6/5), Appreciate It (10/3), Sir Gerhard (5/1), Flame Bearer (17/2), James Du Berlais (12/1), Adamantly Chosen (16/1), Brides Hill (22/1), Flanking Maneuver (25/1), Authorized Art (28/1)

Verdict

MIGHTY POTTER didn't quite come up to expectations at Cheltenham but he was far from disgraced and, back on home soil, he's firmly expected to resume winning ways. Appreciate It also arrives on the back of a respectable run at the Festival and Sir Gerhard remains with potential.

  1. MIGHTY POTTER (FR)
  2. APPRECIATE IT (IRE)
