Forecasts

Normandy Soldier (9/4), Winter Getaway (5/2), Thegallantway (3/1), Dinos Benefit (9/1), Jersey Bean (11/1), Kansas City Chief (12/1), Compadre (12/1), Marmont (28/1)

Verdict

Preference is to stick with the young and improving horses in the line-up. Namely, Normandy Soldier and WINTER GETAWAY. The former took his form to a new level when cruising clear of his rivals to get off the mark over hurdles by eight-length at Hereford recently. However, the latter is preferred as the substance of her form is that bit stronger and a mark of 122 may yet prove to look a lenient one in time. Compadre is rated 7lb lower over hurdles than he is over fences and he ran a cracker when last seen over the smaller obstacles. He wasn't heavily beaten at Ascot on his return to action and this race is not as competitive which can enable him to finish in the money.
  1. Winter Getaway
  2. Normandy Soldier
  3. Compadre
