Forecasts

Concetto (4/1), Great D'Ange (11/2), Minella Bobo (6/1), Airtothethrone (7/1), Eceparti (15/2), Favori De Sivola (9/1), To Be Sure (10/1), Planned Paradise (10/1), Eclair De Guye (11/1), In Rem (12/1), Domaine De L'Isle (40/1)

Verdict

There should be more to come from unexposed 6-y-o CONCETTO, who made a promising start over fences last season and the marathon trip was probably his undoing when only seventh in the Highland National when last seen in April. Minella Bobo needs to bounce back in a major way, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track. A clean round of jumping should see In Rem involved and Planned Paradise also makes the shortlist.

  1. CONCETTO (FR)
  2. MINELLA BOBO (IRE)
  3. IN REM (FR)
