Forecasts

Found A Fifty (11/8), Hercule Du Seuil (4/1), Nickle Back (15/2), Etalon (9/1), Master Chewy (10/1), Matata (14/1), Djelo (16/1), Quilixios (18/1), Libberty Hunter (33/1), Silent Approach (66/1)

Verdict

FOUND A FIFTY has been most consistent in the top 2m novice chases this season and can land a second win at the highest level. The way Etalon jumps should hold him in good stead now stepping outside of handicap company and he's second choice ahead of the prolific Hercule du Seuil.

  2. ETALON (IRE)
  3. HERCULE DU SEUIL (FR)
