Forecasts

Willmount (6/4), Aucunrisque (4/1), Ooh Betty (7/1), Valgrand (15/2), Hansard (11/1), Jet Powered (12/1), Glory And Fortune (14/1), Big Boy Bobby (20/1)

Verdict

A strong 8-runner contest for the grade, and it will be fascinating to see how the market moves with a few talented horses returning from long absences. WILLMOUNT should have some race fitness on his side, having travelled well for a long way at Cheltenham before falling three out. Assuming he's none the worse for his tumble, he can confirm the promise he showed as a novice last year. Hansard is very much respected having gone well fresh in the past while Big Boy Bobby could outrun his odds.
