Forecasts

Mont Des Avaloirs (5/4), Midnight Shadow (13/8), The Last Day (11/4)

Verdict

A poor turnout numerically but impossible to definitively dismiss any of the three runners. Sean Bowen is likely to keep things simple aboard Mont Des Avaloirs and attempt to make all in receipt of 6lb from his two rivals. Barring his fall at the final hurdle at Wincanton last month, it was a fairly seamless hurdles debut, and the Paul Nicholls trained full brother to Le Prezien could in truth by anything. However, he faces a battle hardened rival in the shape of MIDNIGHT SHADOW, and he handles testing conditions well, with his form in bumpers and over hurdles so far having a slightly more solid look and feel.
