Forecasts

Snow Falcon (5/4), Bapaume (5/4), Ornua (6/4), Trainwreck (11/2), Whatsyourstatus (12/1)

It's been a while since he last hit the target, but SNOW FALCON is nevertheless an appealing alternative to likely favourite Bapaume. The latter scored over this C&D on his latest start and he is greatly respected, but he didn't find much when it came to the crunch over hurdles last time at Punchestown where he was 7½ lengths adrift of the selection. Ornua should also have a say in the finish.
