Forecasts

Verdict

An interesting race. PLAYFUL SAINT did well to come back for more having sat close to a strong pace when striking on his Hexham chase debut so he might be able to cope with a 4 lb rise. El Muchacho could be the one to give him most to do in a contest where a case can be made for all 5.

  1. PLAYFUL SAINT (FR)
  2. EL MUCHACHO (IRE)
  3. SALAMANCA BAY (IRE)
