Forecasts

One Last Tango (15/8), Champagne Mahler (7/2), Miss Pronunciation (8/1), Hands Of Gold (17/2), Hgranca De Thaix (10/1), Lazer Wolf (11/1), Grange Walk (11/1), Rebel Gold (12/1), Whiskeywealth (18/1), Dutch Schultz (22/1), Willywampus (66/1)

CHAMPAGNE MAHLER bounced back to best on his first go in a handicap chase when second at Fairyhouse 6 weeks ago and looks up to defying this sort of mark. In-form pair One Last Tango and Lazer Wolf are others to consider.
