Forecasts
Brahma Bull (15/8), Moon Over Germany (9/4), Champagne Classic (5/2), Robin De Carlow (5/1), Put The Kettle On (6/1), Dandy Mag (13/2), Grey Waters (33/1)
A fascinating renewal of a contest which has been won by some smart sorts down the years including Le Richebourg (2018), Rathvinden (2017) and Limestone Lad (2000). The unknown quantity in this field is without doubt Dandy Mag who defied a monster absence to win on his chase debut in August. He is unlikely to be affected by the bounce factor given he has had 66 days to recover. For win purposes, it is hard to split Champagne Classic and MOON OVER GERMANY. The former brings graded novice chase form to the table and is likely to be the better horse in the future. However, the latter is narrowly preferred given he is the more proven sort over fences and has race fitness on his side.
- Moon Over Germany
- Champagne Classic
