Forecasts

Graffiti (9/2), King Of Quinta (11/2), Mickyh (11/2), Tamaris (6/1), Heros De Moutiers (15/2), Go Fox (17/2), Famoso (11/1), Jet Of Dreams (12/1), Bolberry Down (12/1), Arbennig (14/1), Glan Y Gors (18/1), Full Of Light (80/1)

Verdict

HEROS DE MOUTIERS made an encouraging start to his chasing career after 5 months off when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen and looks the one to beat off a similar mark. Jet of Dreams is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise so is feared most ahead of King of Quinta.

  1. HEROS DE MOUTIERS (FR)
  2. JET OF DREAMS (IRE)
  3. KING OF QUINTA (FR)
