Forecasts

Malina Girl (10/3), Galia Des Liteaux (5/1), City Chief (8/1), Fontaine Collonges (8/1), My Silver Lining (17/2), Beauport (10/1), Credo (11/1), Guetapan Collonges (12/1), Major Dundee (12/1), Volcano (18/1), Percussion (22/1), Broken Halo (25/1), Rapper (40/1), Duc De Beauchene (66/1)

Verdict

MALINA GIRL has continued her progress this season and she might well have defied an 11 lb rise had she not fallen 3 out at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago (full of running at the time). She can make amends off an unchanged mark with her stamina assured (winner of the Ulster National in the spring). Fontaine Collonges was ultimately an impressive winner of the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby on Boxing Day so rates a big threat, with Midlands Grand National winner Major Dundee another to consider.

  1. MALINA GIRL (IRE)
  2. FONTAINE COLLONGES (FR)
  3. MAJOR DUNDEE (IRE)
