Forecasts

Champion Chase (7/2), Sage Monkey (9/2), Bonobo (13/2), Grand Coureur (7/1), Firmount Gent (8/1), Legal Ok (8/1), Lovely Bubbly (12/1), Its A Sting (16/1), Diamond Rock (16/1), Ben Arthur (20/1), Miss Feistypants (20/1), Silent Man (20/1), Coopers Square (66/1)

Verdict

Very moderate fayre here and the suggestion is GRAND COUREUR, who has form at the track, handles the ground and may be able to take advantage of a 4lb drop going into his chase debut. Champion Chase is another newcomer to this discipline who could have a big say in the outcome, while Lovely Bubbly and Firmount Gent are also respected.
  1. Grand Coureur
  2. Champion Chase
  3. Firmount Gent
