Forecasts

Captain Conby (11/8), Great Bear (2/1), Annexation (5/1), Walnut Beach (11/2), Rebel Rose (17/2), Nibiru (10/1), Hope Des Blins (11/1), Garrybello (12/1), Babylon Beach (16/1), Mastermacblack (66/1), Just For Yuse (125/1)

Verdict

WALNUT BEACH has some pretty useful form over fences and is the percentage call, although Henry de Bromhead has a good record in this race and his chase newcomer Annexation could pose a big threat if taking to this new discipline. Captain Conby is another who could have a part to play if he can translate anything like his hurdle ability to fences.

  1. WALNUT BEACH (IRE)
  2. ANNEXATION (FR)
  3. CAPTAIN CONBY (IRE)
