Forecasts

Verdict

This could revolve around the two penalised runners MATATA and War Soldier, with preference for Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge provided he settles better. The aforementioned War Soldier got off the mark at Newcastle last month and with further progress on the cards, he looks the obvious threat. Hurdling debutant Sleeping Satellite and Sonnemoser round off the shortlist.

  1. MATATA (IRE)
  2. WAR SOLDIER (IRE)
  3. SLEEPING SATELLITE (IRE)
