Forecasts

Rebel Waltz (4/1), Hard Rain (9/2), Agirlcalledchloe (11/2), Meehall (11/2), Repeat That (6/1), Definiteadare (13/2), More Info (9/1), Secret Cargo (14/1), The Last Throw (16/1), Kilashee (33/1), Roscomroe (33/1), Justakeg (100/1)

REBEL WALTZ returned to form when finding just one too good at Wexford a fortnight ago and he is appealing back in this sphere off a 1 lb lower mark. Chase debutant More Info will be a threat if taking to fences at the first attempt, while Meehall is third choice ahead of Agirlcalledchloe and Secret Cargo.
