Forecasts

Galopin Des Champs (1/1), Wolf Prince (85/40), Gua Du Large (4/1), Grand Roi (6/1), Indiana Jones (8/1), Lunar Display (50/1)

Verdict

Following a big-money transfer from Nicky Henderson, GRAND ROI made a solid-enough start for new connection on reappearance in October and expected to build on that, is marginally preferred to Galopin des Champs.
