Forecasts

Eric Bloodaxe (4/6), Captain Conby (7/2), Bois De Clamart (11/2), The Road To Fame (8/1)

ERIC BLOODAXE landed a Grade 2 novice hurdle last season and he took a step back in the right direction second in a big-field handicap here when last seen in April. He gets the nod ahead of Bois de Clamart and Captain Coby. The Road To Fame has few miles on the clock for a 7-y-o but he looks up against it on these terms all the same.
