Forecasts
Saphir Du Rheu (1/7), Bernardelli (10/1), Maggio (16/1), Firth Of The Clyde (20/1)
The weights greatly favour SAPHIR DU RHEU here and although he has proved a frustrating sort over fences so far, he really should land this and it goes down as a good piece of placing by Paul Nicholls. The race for the runner-up spot looks to be a competitive one with the race-fit course winner Bernardelli looking to have the edge over Grand National entry Maggio.
1. Saphir Du Rheu
2. Bernardelli
3. Maggio
