Forecasts

Jackpot Des Bordes (4/6), U Cant Be Serious (5/1), Bank On Frank (8/1), Devon Dude (9/1), Chedington's Guest (9/1), Katana (14/1), Calli Black (25/1), Kenmya (125/1), Steel Dancer (200/1), Alderley Charlie (200/1)

Verdict

JACKPOT DES BORDES got away with a drop in trip around this sharper track when scoring here last month and, with improvement on the cards back up in distance, Paul Nicholls' 5-y-o could take some stopping. He gets the vote over Katana, who showed ability amidst greenness in a Wincanton bumper a couple of months ago and warrants considerable respect now hurdling. Bank On Frank can edge out Devon Dude for third.
