Forecasts

American Mike (5/2), The Short Go (11/2), Tyre Kicker (17/2), Perceval Legallois (10/1), Favori De Champdou (10/1), Life In The Park (11/1), Chemical Energy (11/1), Lisnamult Lad (11/1), Ask Anything (14/1), Yeah Man (16/1), Stuzzikini (20/1), Where It All Began (20/1), Lucid Dreams (22/1), Riaan (22/1), Churchstonewarrior (22/1), The Goffer (28/1), Fakir D'alene (33/1), Mars Harper (40/1), Jumping Jet (50/1), Gevrey (66/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but Gordon Elliott comes here mob-handed and his handicap debutant AMERICAN MIKE may have got in lightly so is taken to bag another C&D success with Jack Kennedy in the saddle. Recent Cheltenham scorer Lisnamult Lad heads the list of dangers, although Perceval Legallois, The Short Go, Favori de Champdou and Chemical Energy all need factoring in too.
