Forecasts

Numitor (10/3), Thor De Cerisy (7/2), Dubai Days (9/2), Champagne Mystery (11/2), Riders Onthe Storm (15/2), Le Ligerien (12/1), Top Ville Ben (12/1), Francky Du Berlais (16/1), Pink Legend (20/1), Daly Tiger (33/1)

Verdict

NUMITOR shaped with bags of enthusiasm on his recent return at Exeter and, having slipped to further in the weights, he makes a fair amount of appeal. Champagne Mystery shaped very well in a hot Cheltenham handicap on his penultimate start and is a big player on his first foray into veterans company, with Riders Onthe Storm also feared following an encouraging run at Doncaster 4 weeks ago.
