Forecasts

The Boss's Dream (4/1), Waldorf Salad (9/2), Midnight Monty (9/2), Zanstra (6/1), Looks Like Power (13/2), Renard (8/1), Allchilledout (9/1), Umberto D'olivate (14/1), Royale Django (25/1)

WALDORF SALAD can return to form by taking this competitive looking handicap chase. The selection won over C&D off a 23lb higher mark just over two years ago and with the yard in much better form than they have been previously this season he can register his fourth chase success. Midnight Monty has run well in a couple of conditions events the last twice and he can confirm February's Sandown running with Renard, a stablemate of the selection.
