Forecasts

Facile Vega (8/15), American Mike (9/4), Redemption Day (10/1), Seabank Bistro (20/1), Sandor Clegane (33/1), Madmansgame (40/1), Viva Devito (50/1), Carnfunnock (100/1), Ocean Of Mercy (150/1)

Verdict

FACILE VEGA comfortably saw off American Mike at Cheltenham and there's no obvious reason to think that those placings will be reversed, while it would take a much-improved performance from one of the remainder to even remotely threaten that pair.

  1. FACILE VEGA (IRE)
  2. AMERICAN MIKE (IRE)
  3. REDEMPTION DAY
