Forecasts

Hard Frost (5/4), Lady Wilberry (10/3), School For Scandal (4/1), Dindin (13/2), Electric Annie (8/1), Tom O'Roughley (10/1), Cobra Commander (14/1), Scrumpy Boy (18/1), O'Faolains Lad (18/1), Ho Que Oui (33/1)

Verdict

HARD FROST has gone down only by a whisker on both his starts over fences and surely would have opened his account had he been fluent over the last at Wincanton 3 weeks ago. He's fancied to make amends at the main expense of Dindin and Cobra Commander.

  1. HARD FROST (FR)
  2. DINDIN (FR)
  3. COBRA COMMANDER (IRE)
