Forecasts

Bowensonfire (1/1), Jarrive De Mee (3/1), Passing Diamond (11/2), Ice Jet (11/2), Glen To Glen (28/1)

Verdict

BOWENSONFIRE was easily the best of these over hurdles and he's also achieved the most over fences so far, so his claims are crystal clear. Bold-jumping front runner Passing Diamond could offer most resistance despite a double penalty.

  1. BOWENSONFIRE (FR)
  2. PASSING DIAMOND (IRE)
  3. JARRIVE DE MEE (FR)
