Forecasts

Verdict

MATATA looked one to keep firmly on side when running out a most impressive winner on return/chase debut at Ffos Las in October, jumping boldly and ultimately winning eased up. He can defy a 9 lb hike in the weights and come out on top again. Libberty Hunter and Petit Tonnerre head up the dangers, in that order.

  2. LIBBERTY HUNTER
  3. PETIT TONNERRE (FR)
