Forecasts

Calett Mad (6/4), Qualando (9/2), Roc D'Apsis (6/1), Tempestatefloresco (6/1), Red Devil Lads (8/1), Troika Steppes (17/2), Tindaro (40/1)

CALETT MAD looks like a well-handicapped horse and his two efforts since moving from France have been impressive. He looks tough to oppose with question marks over plenty of the others. Troika Steppes blundered badly last time but if one poor run can be forgiven, then he'd certainly have claims on his previous form, particularly his two recent efforts at Cheltenham. If Tempestatefloresco can put a clear round of jumping, he could be dangerous to rule out. 1. Calett Mad 2. Troika Steppes 3. Tempestatefloresco
