Verdict

What this race lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality, with JANGO BAIE, Kalif du Berlais, Handstands and Mark of Gold all having shown themselves to be very promising novices. The last-named arguably lacks the scope of the other three and, though Hanstands is unlikely to go down without a fight, it's the Henderson and Nicholls runners that arguably possess the greatest potential. The form of Jango Baie's Cheltenham chase debut success looks strong and he gets the nod.

  1. JANGO BAIE (FR)
  2. KALIF DU BERLAIS (FR)
  3. HANDSTANDS (IRE)
