4/7

Top-class chaser. Suffered sole defeat for this yard when second to A Plus Tard in this last year but that was his first start for 8 months and he's had the benefit of an outing this time.

Forecasts

Chacun Pour Soi (4/7), Notebook (7/2), Put The Kettle On (13/2), Annamix (16/1), Le Richebourg (25/1), Castlegrace Paddy (40/1)

CHACUN POUR SOI should be all the sharper with his smooth reappearance win behind him so seems unlikely to suffer a second short-priced reversal in this contest. Henry de Bromhead pair Notebook and Put The Kettle On can battle it out for minor honours.
