Forecasts

Crest (7/4), Balbir Du Mathan (11/4), Champagne Harmony (6/1), Phil's Magic (10/1), Ancient Sands (10/1), Chesterfieldavenue (10/1), Aretesone (14/1), Newsworthy (28/1), Hide The Biscuit (33/1), Robin De Roost (33/1), Chelate (100/1)

Verdict

It might be worth siding with CHESTERFIELDAVENUE in this. He has to overcome an absence of almost a year but much stranger things have happened and he showed good form in his first two starts, while you can forget the last as something may have been amiss, leading to the prolonged absence. He can overcome Crest, who has looked capable of winning a race such as this one recently, and Balbir Du Mathan, who faces a more realistic target having been pulled up at Cheltenham two weeks ago.
