Forecasts

Heart Wood (8/13), Buddy One (11/4), Corbetts Cross (4/1), Favori De Champdou (10/1), Jumping Jet (33/1), Desert Heather (100/1)

Verdict

CORBETTS CROSS made up into a high-class chaser last term and can return in style here before tackling much stronger company once more. Henry de Bromhead's Heart Wood has the form to have a say and rates the chief threat ahead of Buddy One and Favori de Champdou.

  1. CORBETTS CROSS (IRE)
  2. HEART WOOD (FR)
  3. BUDDY ONE (IRE)
