Forecasts
Sky Full Of Stars (7/4), Minella Suite (11/4), Frankie Ballou (7/2), Bandol (4/1), Paddling (33/1)
Bandol and Sky Full Of Stars both come here in good form and the latter is taken to come out just the better in that argument, though preference is for MINELLA SUITE. Admittedly, shouldering top weight won't be easy in the forecast conditions and he does have to prove that he handles them. However, the penny began to drop with him at Wetherby over hurdles last time and he looks like making a nice chaser, with a mark that looks there to be exploited if he can begin to show the abilities of the two runners who finished either side of him in that Irish point-to-point.
