Forecasts

Salamanca School (16/5), Mawlood (16/5), Chapati (4/1), Gaia Vallis (9/2), Raven's Tower (13/2), Dr Jane (11/1), Auld Sod (22/1), Alburn (33/1)

Verdict

The solid option here is CHAPATI who has taken well to fences in recent months and can resume winning ways. Mawlood is better than he's shown on both chase starts and has won off a higher mark than this over hurdles so he's feared most ahead of Warren Greatrex chase newcomer Salamanca School.

  1. CHAPATI (FR)
  2. MAWLOOD (IRE)
  3. SALAMANCA SCHOOL (FR)
