Forecasts

Caldwell Potter (11/4), Handstands (11/4), Dancing City (4/1), Quai De Bourbon (9/2), Stellar Story (7/1), Jordans (11/1), The Changing Man (11/1), Don't Rightly Know (20/1)

Verdict

HANDSTANDS has created a superb impression over fences and with this race the target since beating subsequent Arkle winner Jango Baie in the Scilly Isles at Sandown, he has plenty to recommend him with the return to 3m also in his favour. There's potentially a fair amount of pace on but Caldwell Potter is a huge threat if getting into the same rhythm as Cheltenham. Stellar Story completes the shortlist.

  1. HANDSTANDS (IRE)
  2. CALDWELL POTTER (FR)
  3. STELLAR STORY (IRE)
