Forecasts

Richmond Lake (7/4), Punta Del Este (11/4), It's Good To Laugh (3/1), Start In Front (4/1)

Verdict

Though PUNTA DEL ESTE was ultimately well held in the Fred Winter and in an Ascot handicap on his final two starts of last season, he remains one to be positive about in view of his encouraging British debut third in the Victor Ludorum. He gets the nod ahead of Richmond Lake, who did well over fences last term and will be a big threat if fully tuned-up back hurdling following a seven-month break. It's Good To Laugh is not short of ability but his haphazard jumping remains a serious concern.
