Forecasts

Dragon D'Estruval (11/4), Juge Et Parti (11/4), Rockpoint (6/1), Bobo Mac (17/2), De Name Evades Me (10/1), Aux Ptits Soins (12/1), Vive Le Roi (14/1), Virginia Chick (16/1), Hit The Highway (25/1), Captain Peacock (33/1), Karezak (33/1), Clondaw Cian (50/1)

Verdict

There is a suspicion that DRAGON D'ESTRUVAL could be some way better than this opening handicap mark based on the facile nature of his Ffos Las success on UK debut and the fact that champion trainer Nicky Henderson keeps him over hurdles rather than switching back to fences where he's already won three times perhaps hints that he agrees. Vive Le Roi chased home the smart First Assignment last time out in a hot Cheltenham handicap and with that form since franked he rates the biggest danger. Unexposed Warwick winner De Name Evades Me looks fairly treated on handicap debut and is another worth considering.
  1. Dragon D'Estruval
  2. Vive Le Roi
  3. De Name Evades Me
