Forecasts

Aviles (15/8), Highland Frolic (11/4), Greatness Awaits (7/2), Clongowes (5/1), Father Of Jazz (6/1), Breaking Cover (9/1), Definite (10/1), Kayf Burren (40/1), Sir Dan Dan (66/1), Kylenoe Dancer (100/1)

Verdict

AVILES showed enough to suggest a race like this should be within his grasp when runner-up 3 times towards the end of 2022 and his stable has been in cracking form in recent weeks so he holds good claims back from a break. Recent C&D runner-up Highland Frolic could be the one to follow him home. Irish point recruit Breaking Cover is likely a bit better than he was able to show in a decent Ascot bumper in the autumn and also makes the shortlist now hurdling after 176 days off.

  1. AVILES (FR)
  2. HIGHLAND FROLIC (FR)
  3. BREAKING COVER (IRE)
