Forecasts

Captain Claude (13/8), Sir Rock (4/1), Leading Swoop (9/2), The Scorpion King (8/1), Mister Murchan (12/1), I Love You Sivola (14/1), Ivilnoble (14/1), William Philo (25/1), Spotty Dog (33/1)

Verdict

CAPTAIN CLAUDE has taken very well to fences and is fancied to complete the hat-trick despite the drop back in trip possibly not being ideal. Sir Rock showed a better attitude than has often been the case when making a winning chase bow at Plumpton so looks the obvious threat, with Mister Murchan best of the others,

  1. CAPTAIN CLAUDE (IRE)
  2. SIR ROCK (IRE)
  3. MISTER MURCHAN (IRE)
