Forecasts

Eclair De Guye (4/1), Domaine De L'Isle (9/2), Dorking Cock (11/2), Native Robin (11/2), Francky Du Berlais (11/2), Louse Talk (15/2), Mouseinthehouse (12/1), Indian Brave (16/1), Envol De La Cour (40/1)

Verdict

NATIVE ROBIN can register a victory by taking the opening handicap chase on the card. The oldest horse in the field has shown good form when placed on both previous starts this campaign and he can get the better of last time out winner Eclair De Guye who can finish runner-up off his revised mark. Third palce can go to Francky Du Berlais who returns to chasing following a couple of good efforts over hurdles.
  1. Native Robin
  2. Eclair De Guye
  3. Francky Du Berlais
