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
