Forecasts

Gracesolution (3/1), Oranmore (11/2), Musical Rhapsody (7/1), Bambeano (7/1), Picpoul (8/1), Chutzpal (17/2), Chateau Musar (17/2), Intend (16/1), Mads Black Eights (16/1), Guild (18/1), Annecherie (22/1), Hinemoa (25/1), Steel Queen (33/1), Riqaaby (150/1)

Plenty to consider, but it could be worth chancing PICPOUL, who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests under this rider here last time and the return to this trip will suit. Gracesolution and Chateau Musar head the dangers.
