Forecasts

Sunray Shadow (11/10), Takt De Touques (7/4), Emiyn (13/2), Rockchoeur (14/1), Chief Sunday (25/1), Small Town Hero (50/1), Lennie Godber (100/1)

Verdict

TAKT DE TOUQUES created a good impression when winning 3 bumpers earlier in the year and is narrowly preferred to Dan Skelton's Sunray Shadow. Emiyn could also have a part to play if translating anything like his Flat ability to hurdles.

  1. TAKT DE TOUQUES (FR)
