Forecasts

Soir De Gala (11/8), Planned Paradise (10/3), Begin The Luck (13/2), Glynn (15/2), Kauto The King (10/1), Opening Bid (14/1), Cheltenam De Vaige (18/1), Northern Bound (20/1)

Verdict

SOIR DE GALA could have plenty more to come on the back of his Stratford chase debut success and can prove too strong for much older and more exposed opposition. Planned Paradise ended up with too much to do at Cartmel last time and that defeat probably shouldn't be taken to suggest the handicapper has got him so he's second choice ahead of course specialist Kauto The King.

  1. SOIR DE GALA (FR)
  2. PLANNED PARADISE (IRE)
  3. KAUTO THE KING (FR)
