Forecasts

Flame Bearer (8/15), Journey With Me (7/4), Mars Harper (6/1), My Immortal (7/1), Brides Hill (22/1), Aldo The Apache (40/1), Capilano Bridge (50/1), Pictures Of Home (50/1), Moral Of The Story (150/1), Low Mileage (200/1)

There isn't quite as much depth to this as the original field with JOURNEY WITH ME the most persuasive option in the hope he's none the worse for a late fall on chase debut. Flame Bearer possessed more than his share of ability over hurdles and having transferred to Willie Mullins, he's a fascinating rival switched to fences.
