Forecasts
On The Blind Side (15/8), Riders Onthe Storm (9/4), Paloma Blue (11/4), Adrien Du Pont (8/1), Double Shuffle (11/1)
All of these can be given some sort of chance but the it’s RIDERS ONTHE STORM who can gain a well deserved victory having been taken out of last weekend’s Caspian Caviar by mistake. His Aintree victory was very impressive and a repeat of that would be good enough here with conditions looking to suit. On The Blind Side was given a baptism of fire over fences last year and caught the eye when given a good sight of his fences around her on his comeback run. His flop in the Ladbrokes Trophy leaves a stain on his CV and he needs to bounce back. Paloma Blue has shown some smart fencing form only being beaten by a better-rated rival last time at level weights; this trip will test him though.
