Forecasts

Immortal (13/8), Bad (5/2), Jagwar (5/1), Toonagh Warrior (7/1), Havaila (8/1), King William Rufus (10/1), Titan Discovery (14/1), Poncho (18/1), Redbridge Rambler (22/1), Jaramillo (33/1), Mardoof (40/1), Ray's The One (50/1), Douglas Dc (125/1), Ardmayle (150/1), Tying The Knot (200/1)

Verdict

BAD shaped well when second in what looked a good renewal of the Gerry Feilden at Newbury at the beginning of the month and is taken to build on that promise now. There should be more to come from Nicky Henderson's Immortal and he's second choice ahead of Jagwar and Titan Discovery, who appeal as likely improvers now making a quick switch to handicaps.

  1. BAD (FR)
  2. IMMORTAL (FR)
  3. JAGWAR (FR)
