Forecasts

Riders Onthe Storm (7/5), Ibleo (5/2), Top Ville Ben (10/3), Mac Tottie (11/2)

Verdict

The time to catch RIDERS ONTHE STORM has often been when fresh and he's expected to make a bold bid back from 8 months off, now operating 6 lb below the mark he defied when landing last season's Old Roan Chase on his return. Ibleo, back from a mammoth absence, could well emerge as the chief danger for the red-hot Venetia Williams stable.
