Forecasts

Lookaway (7/2), Mr Hope Street (4/1), Brave Fortune (9/2), Chance Another One (15/2), Cruz Control (8/1), Imperial Saint (8/1), Myretown (8/1), Uncle Bert (10/1), Leave Of Absence (11/1), Bad (18/1), Deep Cave (18/1), Konfusion (20/1), Josh The Boss (20/1), Amirite (20/1), In Love (50/1), Glengouly (50/1), Ain't That A Shame (66/1), Stolen Silver (100/1)

Verdict

MR HOPE STREET looks well handicapped on the form of his Haydock third in November and can prove the point now tackling 3m+ for the first time over fences. Brave Fortune is another lightly-raced chaser who likely has more to offer and is second choice ahead of Leave of Absence. The shortlist is completed by Cruz Control, who bids for a third successive win in this.

  1. MR HOPE STREET (IRE)
  2. BRAVE FORTUNE (IRE)
  3. LEAVE OF ABSENCE (FR)
