Forecasts

Sporting Ace (85/40), Well Dick (9/2), No But I Will (9/2), Here Comes McCoy (8/1), Ballydisco (8/1), Grove Road (9/1), Phantom Getaway (12/1), Mister Bo (14/1)

Verdict

NO BUT I WILL needs to shrug off a lesser display at Aintree over Christmas but he'd previously looked one to keep onside when scoring in determined style on chase debut at Wetherby and he's worth another chance to get back on the up. Well Dick was 2-4 and, very much a chaser on looks, he should be up to making his mark in this sphere. Here Comes McCoy and Sporing Ace are not out of things either.

  1. NO BUT I WILL
  2. WELL DICK (IRE)
  3. HERE COMES MCCOY (IRE)
