Forecasts

Ash Tree Meadow (2/1), Straw Fan Jack (5/2), Aucunrisque (3/1), Jetoile (11/2), Uhtred (11/2), Sole Pretender (7/1), Byzantine Empire (22/1), Noahthirtytwored (100/1)

A good quality novice with the vote in favour of ASH TREE MEADOW. Already a 3-time winner over fences this year, he's fared well in defeat more recently, not least when fourth in the Galway Plate on his penultimate start. This drop back in trip will hold no fears and he can put his greater experience to good use. Jetoile in receipt of 5 lb from his Uttoxeter conqueror Aucunrisque is feared, as is Chris Gordon's charge. Sole Pretender completes the shortlist.
