Forecasts

Allaho (6/5), Galvin (5/1), Clan Des Obeaux (11/2), Fakir D'Oudairies (7/1), Minella Indo (9/1), Al Boum Photo (20/1), Tornado Flyer (20/1), Janidil (25/1), Kemboy (40/1)

Verdict

A cracking renewal. ALLAHO's free-wheeling style is seen to very good effect over 2½m but it's worth remembering that he has some top-class form to his name around 3m and, with a dry forecast, he'll surely take some pegging back. Last year's winner Clan des Obeaux warmed up for his defence with a victory at Aintree and can fill the forecast spot ahead of Minella Indo.

  1. ALLAHO (FR)
