Forecasts

Saint Segal (11/10), Christopher Wood (5/2), Grey Skies (9/2), Feuille De Lune (17/2), Dans Le Vent (20/1)

Verdict

The most solid option is SAINT SEGAL who won nicely on his Chepstow chase debut and definitely has more to offer in this sphere. Christopher Wood's peak fitness has to be taken on trust but he has the potential to be a big threat based on his hurdle ability. Grey Skies is likely a fair bit better than he was able to show on his chase debut and is another to consider.

  1. SAINT SEGAL (FR)
  2. CHRISTOPHER WOOD (IRE)
  3. GREY SKIES (IRE)
